The Smithsonian will display Mad Men character Don Draper’s gray suit, fedora hat and office bar cart to honor the rollicking Sixties drama. What an era.

Attorney General Eric Holder spent an hour on TV reading out a list of civil rights violations by the Ferguson police. His voice grew more and more incredulous as he listed the incidents of racial profiling. Bi-coastal hot shots are always amazed to discover that Missouri is a Southern state.
