Storyline
It's April 4, 1968. Ginsberg is on a date, one he didn't want to go on, but was set up by his father at the last minute as a total surprise to Michael. Many of the staff of both SCDP and CGC are at an advertising awards dinner. Both these events are unexpectedly interrupted when news that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. has just been shot dead. Beyond the immediate shock of the news and the pall that it places over the general populace, it has more profound effects both personal and professional. People are concerned about general race rioting, which does occur. Don is concerned about Sylvia as she and Arnold are in D.C. where the violence seems to be worse than in other places. Abe is working on a story, one that could be the biggest of his career, on the local aftermath of the shooting for the New York Times.

By far, the best episode I have seen since I've been watching this show.
An advertising awards ceremony falls by the waste side with the news of Dr. King's assassination in Tennessee.
We really get a sharp feeling for the turbulent 1960s here, as rioting spreads as a response throughout the country with N.Y. escaping most of it due in fact to the Lindsay Administration.
Don questions his role as a parent in the episode, in a most intriguing way.
What happened to the neighbors who went to Washington for the weekend, just before this tragic event?
