SPECIAL OPERATORS DEFENSE FUND
“People sleep peaceably in their beds at night,” George Orwell wrote, “only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”

W.E.B. GRIFFIN’S ONSCREEN CAMEO (KIND OF…)
Mad Men, the award-winning drama that is set in a fictional 1960s Madison Avenue advertising firm, is known first for its great characters and storylines. It’s also well known, thanks to creator and writer Matthew Weiner, for its attention to details that give the show an authentic feel for the period.
As sticklers for detail in the W.E.B. Griffin novels, we know all too well that, no matter how hard you try, sometimes something slips into a scene that shouldn’t be there. So, we’re sympathetic to the frustration that must have been felt when a W.E.B. Griffin 1990s compilation of three books from The Corps series found its way onto the 1960s bookshelf behind the character of Betty Draper.
A WEBG reader, Joshua S. Treviño, who wrote Presidential speeches for Bush43 and later co-founded RedState.com, caught the anachronism and posted this screenshot above on his Flickr page. It’s since been picked up by various entertainment websites.
