"With “Mad Men” now in its third season, it seems like everybody, male or female, wants to be Don Draper, the show's debonair, amoral antihero. He's the coolest of the cool, a collected type-A male who has never heard of sharing or self-doubt and who exudes New York City machismo right down to his polished wingtips.
