A few months back, JTA board macher and fellow “Mad Men” fan Danny Krifcher suggested that I write up a column predicting how each of the characters would respond to the Six Day War.

And so did the show. This season picked up after June 1967, skipping right over Israel’s dramatic victory.

Until this week.

Which is my long-winded way of saying… yes, that was a big picture of Moshe Dayan hanging over Stan Rizzo’s bed.
