john f. kennedy. the politics of the '60s came full circle last year when the season closed with nixon winning the white house finally in 1968. we watched don draper to the violence at that 1968 democratic convention in chicago. >> are you watching this? >> yeah. it's hard to believe no one got killed. >> is that the only measure? can you imagine a policeman cracking your skull? that would change your whole life. >> honey, they're throwing rocks. be prepared for trouble. >> as viewers, we've experienced the '60s each character has navigated through a decade that's seen the country divided over civil rights, race relations, feminism, the war in vietnam. don draper first appears as the literal man in the gray flannel suit and could be viewed as the silent majority who helped elect nixon in 1968. his ex-wife betty probably never read "the feminine mystique", but we find her in the role that dan railed against in her revolutionary book. after divorcing don, she married henry francis, who served as an aid to nelson rockefeller, the governor of new york, before joining us with new york mayor john lindsay, a liberal republican, who ended up running for t
