I wasn't sure if I liked "Mad Men" but now I need to know what Draper is hiding.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

My guess is that there was some ugly situation in Korea and the real Don Draper is killed - and he grabs his dog tags. And then Dick Whitman is listed as dead or MIA.

That part I figured on. But is there something he's covering up, or is his family life just that trifling. It's kind of funny...he was his own first ad account. Sorta.

That is what he's covering up - he's not who he says he is. Why should it be more than that?

No special reason, but I thought there might be because of his wartime traumas and whatnot. Also, while I have joked about Changing My Name And Moving Away, Don really did.

I think there's something in Dick Whitman's past before or during the war that was so traumatic he had to change identities to escape from it. I'm guessing he killed someone outside of the war - maybe uncle mac?

I'm guessing that things weren't happy with the fosterparents and he just seized the opportunity.

I thought that the "mom" had died first -- but after he had left home.
