This week's cavalcade is committed to the anamnesis of Mrs. Ida Blankenship, Don Draper's hilariously bad-tempered controlling secretary on Mad Men who died at her desk, "like she lived, amidst by the humans she answers phones for," according to Roger Sterling's snarky burning eulogy. Her above swain/boss Bert Cooper saw a bigger, added admiring picture: "She was built-in in 1898 in a barn, she died on the 37th attic of a skyscraper. She's an astronaut." Also, according to Roger's allegedly unpublishable memoirs, a ancient "queen of perversions." Randee Heller's spot-on achievement of this old-school gatekeeper, a antique of a time afore feminism was on anyone's radar, is one of the added enduring achievements of Mad Men's agitating fourth season. Let's accord her the endure word, for now:

"It's a business of sadists and masochists, and you apperceive which one you are."
