Lewis,
Sounds interesting. I could see this being plausible. Some recruiter comes in, asks them to be on the lookout for commies and fascists, and while they’re at it, do a few little things here and there. They could even add some international elements, get mixed up with MI5, or is this OSS times? Anyway, it sure would be interesting.

“Garrotes” is good; any opportunity for televised garroting should work for most anyone.

Other possibilities:

Sal, having been canned for not allowing the Lucky Strike guy to get lucky, returns in an early-60’s version of Going Postal? (there were no shoot-ups in Mel Cooley’s office, right? This could be a “first!”)

Little Sally Draper, instructed by the ghost of Grampa Gene, goes on a killing spree of the local bourgeoisie.

Don’t know if animal blood counts, but you just *know* the schoolmarm will be boiling rabbits before this season’s out.

Thanks for the fixes; I’ll be watching earnestly now.

A little Ian Fleming? Actually, I could get into that.

So John Deere mutilation doesn’t count, eh?

It’s ironic you write this just as Betty finds “the box”, and Don’s whole world threatens to come apart. Probably. Eventually.

Or she’ll just keep quiet for a season or two.

I think the premise is great, but the execution lame. And how did Betty not call Don at the office when he didn’t come home for the entire night?

Plotting seems lame. They set up stories that don’t get developed other than to be seductions.

Now maybe someone can find a way to continue this thread to carp about Obama, which is what happens on many of my blog postings.
