Why We Love "Mad Men" - by Lauren M.E. Goodlad

Lauren M.E. Goodlad is an associate professor of English at the University of Illinois. Her article is academically thoughtful, crisp and insightful. It's a great read for students who want to understand how audiences in our time share similar issues with the programme's fictional characters of the early 1960s. "We also recognise that our lives are long Meditations In An Emergency".
