Mad Men Finale Reflected in Orange County Headlines
The Orange County Register microfilm from October 1970 echoes the Mad Men era with local crime, police helmets, school knife incidents, and a cesspool retirement. Headlines describe soft hats for police, Santiago High School stabbings, Stanton cesspools, Manson trials, Gulf Oil ads, and lingering sexist ad copy. The piece notes how the show mirrored real 1970s life and laments gradual social progress.
