CYNDI LAUPER Lena Dunham

Q: What shows did Girls star Lena Dunham relate to when growing up?

—Melissa E., Gilbert, Ariz.

A: “I watched a ton of TV, but My So-Called Life and Felicity influenced me most,” says Dunham, 26, who writes, stars in, and frequently directs the acclaimed HBO series Girls (Sundays), about a group of 20-something women living in Brooklyn. “The characters in those shows made me feel like they understood what it was like to be me.

I’m always chasing that in my own work.”

Q: Has Pawn Stars’ Rick Harrison ever kept for himself an item that has gone through his shop?

—Marlon Foltz, Lubbock, Tex.

A: Harrison, 47, who stars on the History channel series (Mondays) and runs the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, has had some special objects come his way, including a samurai

The pop icon, 59, showcases her life in Cyndi Lauper: Still So Unusual, a new reality TV series on We (Saturdays).

What’s the most surprising thing viewers will learn about you from your show?

Probably that I wash dishes! I wanted to bring attention to the stuff I was as doing—the gigs, my Broadway musical [Kinky inky Boots, scheduled for the spring]—butt also show that I have a life in between. I’m m a rocker, so no regrets! I put it all out there. ere.

You’ve sported some unique styles over the years. Do you have any favorites?

I always liked that salmon-pink hair color; I still use it. And I loved the retro-glam look, but I wanted to make it my own, so I wore high heels and pedal pushers, which nobody was really wearing at the time. I’m obsessed with fashion.

What’s the secret to your longevity as a performer? I don’t think it’s a secret: I never stopped. When people told me you can’t do this or that, I would just do it. I didn’t think there was another choice for me.

long transition became an issue in 1932 during the Great Depression, because it meant that the next president would be unable to act until four months after his election. The 20th Amendment, first proposed in March of that year, changed the date but didn’t go into effect in time for Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first term.

HOW LATINOS Y ARE CHANGING j

AMERICA © PARADE Publications 2013. All rights reserved.

When Barack Obama takes the oath of office this week, a diverse coalition of voters can lay claim to having built his victory: The president received overwhelming support among African-Americans, single women, and people under 30. But one of the most talked about aspects of the Obama win was his pull with Latino voters, who for the first time cast the decisive vote in a number of battleground states— just the latest example of the growing political, social, and cultural influence of America’s largest minority group. That’s why, starting with this issue and throughout 2013, PARADE will be exploring the ways Latinos are reshaping America.

We kick things off with a roundtable that includes two politicians from Texas (which Hispanic voters could turn from red to blue by 2020): San Antonio’s Democratic mayor, Julián Castro, 38, and Republican state representative Larry Gonzales, 42. They’re joined by Linda Alvarado, 61,

JULIÁN CASTRO

president and CEO of Denver’s Alvarado Construction and a co-owner of the Colorado Rockies, and Cristina Jiménez, 28, who as managing director of United We Dream, a nationwide network of youth-led immigrant rights groups, speaks on behalf of Latinos longing for such political and business opportunities. Leading the discussion (held at the Harvard Club of New York City) is Today’s Natalie Morales, who worked with Hispanic students in the Kennedy School’s Center for Public Leadership at Harvard to formulate questions. In revealing their own journeys and sacrifices, our panelists shed light on how Hispanics are striving to realize the American dream.

Natalie Morales: I’d like to start by asking about the impact of the Hispanic vote on the 2012 election.

Julián Castro: It was an extremely important moment for

“What we’re looking for in America—like in baseball—is the opportunity to try, [to find] that level playing field.”

—Linda Alvarado, co-owner of the Colorado Rockies

NATALIE MORALES

The Today show news anchor, 40, was born to a Brazilian mother and a Puerto Rican father and is fluent in both Spanish and Portuguese.

Hispanics: Perception vs. Reality Statistical insights that may surprise you

PERCEPTION: If you are Hispanic, you speak Spanish. REALITY: Maybe. A 2012

survey from the Pew Hispanic Center found that 38 percent of U.S. Hispanics prefer Spanish, 38 percent are bilingual, and 24 percent prefer English. However, “use of English rises through the generations,” the researchers noted: 51 percent of U.S.-born Hispanics prefer English, which helps explain why only two of our four panelists (Alvarado and Jiménez) are fluent in Spanish.

PERCEPTION: Most Latinos are new immigrants. REALITY: More than six out of

every 10 Hispanics in America were born here. Of our four panelists, only one (Jiménez) was born outside the U.S.

there are so many obstacles?

Larry Gonzales: There’s a certain brain drain in this country. When these undocumented students are graduating in these STEM fields—science, technology, engineering, and math— we want them to stay. We need that kind of brain trust.

Morales: You ask any Latino parent what is the most important thing and they say education. Yet the Latino [high school] dropout rate is the worst in the country. Why? Alvarado: We need parental involvement. There’s a program in the Denver public schools where the teachers go to the students’ homes to meet the parents.

It is being able to sit down, to reach out.

Gonzales: I’m working on something for this legislative session that would allow the public schools to pay for parents to go back [to school]. I would love to see the state pay for a 35-year-old or 40-year-old parent to go to college, because for so many kids, regardless of race, who are dropping out, Mom and Dad didn’t go, Grandma didn’t go. I firmly believe that if we can find a way to get Mom and Dad reengaged, back in school, they will show the kids, “This is how it’s done.”

Castro: On November 6 we had on the ballot an eighthof-a-cent sales tax initiative to significantly enhance fullday pre-K for 4-year-olds in our city. So San Antonio will now have the broadest offering of pre-K in Texas.

Morales: Moving on to immigration: We know this will likely be one of the next political fights in Washington.

The president promised to make something happen in his second term, and in fact a recent poll by Politico found that 62 percent of Americans support immigration reform. So is change on the horizon?

Jiménez: The election results were a clear mandate for both parties—36 hours after the elections, we were seeing Republican consultants and others in the leadership talking about, “We must work on immigration.”

If you look at the exit polls, beyond the economy,

Latinos as participants in American democracy, because it was the first time, at the presidential level, that Latinos could see there was an electoral consequence to their participation—both in terms of who got reelected and the policy direction the country’s taken, particularly on immigration reform. Because literally, on November 7 [the day after the election], folks who had been against comprehensive immigration reform were changing their tune.

Linda Alvarado: I don’t think there’s a question now whether we will get out the vote. We will. And it’s not all about immigration. It is about education. It is about employment. It is about opportunity and access. Those are American ideas, not just Hispanic ideas. In Colorado, we had five [new] Hispanics elected [to the state legislature]. And guess what? They don’t all come from Hispanic districts.

Morales: What does it take for a Latino today to live the American dream?

Cristina Jiménez: I’ve worked with many young people who want to succeed, and they realize that because of their immigration status, they can’t. They can’t go to college. They can’t do an internship. They can’t join fellowship programs. How do you even feel motivated to finish school and pursue higher education when

Smokey reflects on becoming a “modern” bear, why he’ll never need a yacht, and how a little jar of honey can go a long way.

A day fishing in the outdoors, followed by a nap under a shady, towering oak tree, hat over my eyes, no wildfires to worry about.

I just got a publicist, and he tells me to make sure that my message doesn’t get lost in today’s climate of media oversaturation. And I really don’t like bees.

Funny story – there’s talk of a “Smokey” movie, so I was in Cannes, taking some meetings during the film festival – 60-foot yachts, parties everywhere, fame and fortune beckoning, and all I could think about was getting back to the outdoors. So there you have it.

I come off as this cuddly, sweet, fuzzy bear – but I have sharp teeth, and big claws – not that I would use them, but if people thought about ending up on the wrong side of them, maybe they’d be less careless in the outdoors. Other than that, I guess I could probably use a new pair of jeans.

Those who really embrace the cause of preventing wildfires – you’ll find them clutching a “Golden Smokey Award.”

Callous disregard for our forests and wildlands.

There’s no one I would rather be.

But Jack Nicholson comes close. That guy can tell some stories.

A friend of mine gave me this amazing jar of honey from Paris – I only open it once a year on my birthday.

I’d be nothing without my hat.

Spending time in any forest or wildland, anytime, anywhere.

Give me some grass beneath my feet, trees above my head and I’m in heaven.

I’m doing that even as we speak. Most people think of me as old school – but I’m catching up with the times. Two years ago, I would have thought the Internet was a way to catch salmon–now I’m working on a MySpace page and a daily blog.

The only lying I do involves hibernation.

Despise is a strong word – but when it comes to anyone who is careless with fire, let’s just say you don’t want to see me angry – I’m a Black Bear, not a teddy bear, remember?

The amazing wilderness that I am so lucky to call home, followed closely by a “special” lady bear in the Yellowstone area.

60+ years of preventing wildfires, but I’m just getting started.

I always say it’s my fur – but then again, how many bears have a motto?

Honesty. Integrity.

And a willingness to share food.

The men and women who put their lives on the line to prevent the spread of wildfires.

I know it’s ironic – but I love Goldilocks.

Wildfires! Boy, these questions are too easy.

Gonzales: This summer at our state convention, we passed something called the Texas Solution. What it says is, one, secure the border. Two, use technology to make a Social Security card more difficult to [de]fraud. Then they put together a guest worker program, and it says that applicants must go through a background check and waive any right to entitlement programs, that every employer must prove they can provide private health insurance, and that every applicant’s kids get a biometric ID card. I haven’t seen a whole lot from anybody else that has that kind of detail.

Alvarado: One thing that needs to be clarified is, talk about border security is really about guns and drugs. It’s not about people crossing the border. We’re trying to make sure people follow the rules, but say I come over at age 5 or 6 or 7—I have no choice in doing that. Yet I can’t go to college; I can’t get a job.

Getting Older Doesn’t Have to Mean Looking Older.

5 Minute Face Lift tightens and nourishes your skin, creating smoother looking skin and turning back the clock.

DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift is a completely new and exciting skin care product, consumer tested to lift the skin’s appearance and render firmer looking skin quickly and effectively. DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift Tightening Serum results in the appearance of smoother looking skin.

From the moment you put it on, you will feel your skin tightening and firming. Small wrinkles will look diminished and your skin will feel refreshed. Facial skin will appear smoother, firmer and younger.

DermaSilk works on the primary reason mature facial skin loses its elasticity.

At the age of 40, the levels of collagen and elastin in your skin begin to greatly decline.

This loss is what leads to sagging, wrinkling and, unfortunately, older looking skin.

Before 5 Minute Face Lift

You don’t have to keep your wrinkles.

DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift restores the appearance of older looking skin by tightening and firming the appearance of aged skin within 5 minutes and, thus, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin for a beautiful and more youthful complexion.

And now you can look years younger in just 90 seconds.

One of the first places many people notice changes in their appearance is in the skin around the eyes. This is due to the fact that skin in this area is extremely thin and delicate, making it especially vulnerable to damage.

Through its firming cosmetic properties, DermaSilk 90 Second Eye Lift temporarily tightens the loose skin around your delicate eye area and reduces the appearance of crow’s feet, fine lines and under eye puffiness for a smoother and more youthful eye appearance.

growth of the Hispanic community. Let me use a baseball analogy.

People say, “Linda, you just got into baseball because Hispanics are good at baseball.” But the difference between baseball and the other issues we’re talking about is access—because the rules are the same in every baseball park across America. The bases are the same distance apart. Everybody gets three strikes and four balls. What we’re looking for in America—like in baseball—is the opportunity to try, [to find] that level playing field.

Morales: Let’s talk about the cultural perspective. [More than] 20 countries make up our culture. Are there universal ties, though, that unite us?

Jiménez: It’s really the values. When I was in high school and was filling out my SAT application, I was asked for my Social Security number.

And I said, “I don’t have one.” My college adviser said, “You can’t go to college—I’m sorry. Go back home.” And it was my mom who turned that fear in me into courage. She said, “Go back and fill out that form— or I’m going to the school myself and get it!” It’s those values of courage, of opportunity, of education, of family. Those are American values.

Castro: When I think of what Latinos are going to mean to the United States as the population grows, it’s going to be a replenishment of exactly what made the United States a great nation: a great work ethic, faith, aspiration, community.

Alvarado: What makes me feel good about this is that we are coming together in ways that really don’t distinguish whether you’re Ecuadorean or Puerto Rican or vegetarian—whatever. Before, we had the media dividing our own community, and we don’t see that today. That’s not just good for us—that’s good for the future of America.

Gonzales: I agree with the mayor entirely on faith and hard work. My grandfather has a third-grade education. My grandmother [has a fifthgrade education]. But they knew that a good education was going to be the key to the family’s success. My father went to the University of Texas at Austin. He’s an aerospace engineer and worked 43 years at NASA. All of his siblings have at least one college degree. Most have multiple degrees. That sets up our generation. My cousins and I, everyone has at least one college degree. But it was my grandfather who said, you will go to school, you will go to UT Austin. That set everybody up.

Morales: What makes you most proud to be Latino, and what public figures do you think best represent the future of our community?

Castro: My mother was involved in the Chicano movement, and so was my father. So [my brother] Joaquín and I grew up in a fairly political household, even though they were not in office. I grew up hearing and reading about Cesar Chavez, so that’s one of the people I looked up to.

Jiménez: I grew up here as an undocumented student, and everything around me said, No. No scholarship, no fellowship, no internship, no access to higher education. What makes me proud is the community and my family around me really pushing me, with a lot of courage and faith, to continue moving forward.

Alvarado: The thing I’m most grateful for is that I’m here today not because I’m the exception to the rule but because other people opened doors for me. It’s not just about getting; it’s about giving back.

Was superstorm Sandy so bad because of global warming?

ILLUSTRATION: GRAFILU

—Robert Schreib, Toms River, N.J.

In this case several factors not directly related to climate change converged to generate the event. On Sandy’s way north, it ran into a vast highpressure system over Canada, which prevented it from continuing in that direction, as hurricanes normally do, and forced it to turn west. Then, because it traveled about 300 miles over open water before making landfall, it piled up an unusually large storm surge. An infrequent jet-stream reversal helped maintain and fuel the storm. As if all that weren’t bad enough, a full moon was occurring, so the moon, the earth, and the sun were in a straight line, increasing the moon’s and sun’s gravitational effects on the tides, thus lifting the high tide even higher. Add to this that the wind and water, though not quite at hurricane levels, struck an area rarely hit by storms of this magnitude—so the structures were more vulnerable— and a disaster occurred. One way global warming may have contributed is that the area’s sea level is somewhat higher than it was a century ago. A bit of good luck: Tides would have been even higher if the moon had been closer to us. Instead, it was just a few days from apogee, the point in its orbit where it’s farthest away.

A: “I watched a ton of TV, but My So-Called Life and Felicity influenced me most,” says Dunham, 26, who writes, stars in, and frequently directs the acclaimed HBO series Girls (Sundays), about a group of 20-something women living in Brooklyn. “The characters in those shows made me feel like they understood what it was like to be me.

I’m always chasing that in my own work.”

Q: Has Pawn Stars’ Rick Harrison ever kept for himself an item that has gone through his shop?

You’ve sported some unique styles over the years. Do you have any favorites?

I always liked that salmon-pink hair color; I still use it. And I loved the retro-glam look, but I wanted to make it my own, so I wore high heels and pedal pushers, which nobody was really wearing at the time. I’m obsessed with fashion.

What’s the secret to your longevity as a performer? I don’t think it’s a secret: I never stopped. When people told me you can’t do this or that, I would just do it. I didn’t think there was another choice for me.

HOW LATINOS Y ARE CHANGING j

AMERICA © PARADE Publications 2013. All rights reserved.

When Barack Obama takes the oath of office this week, a diverse coalition of voters can lay claim to having built his victory: The president received overwhelming support among African-Americans, single women, and people under 30. But one of the most talked about aspects of the Obama win was his pull with Latino voters, who for the first time cast the decisive vote in a number of battleground states— just the latest example of the growing political, social, and cultural influence of America’s largest minority group. That’s why, starting with this issue and throughout 2013, PARADE will be exploring the ways Latinos are reshaping America.

We kick things off with a roundtable that includes two politicians from Texas (which Hispanic voters could turn from red to blue by 2020): San Antonio’s Democratic mayor, Julián Castro, 38, and Republican state representative Larry Gonzales, 42. They’re joined by Linda Alvarado, 61,

JULIÁN CASTRO

president and CEO of Denver’s Alvarado Construction and a co-owner of the Colorado Rockies, and Cristina Jiménez, 28, who as managing director of United We Dream, a nationwide network of youth-led immigrant rights groups, speaks on behalf of Latinos longing for such political and business opportunities. Leading the discussion (held at the Harvard Club of New York City) is Today’s Natalie Morales, who worked with Hispanic students in the Kennedy School’s Center for Public Leadership at Harvard to formulate questions. In revealing their own journeys and sacrifices, our panelists shed light on how Hispanics are striving to realize the American dream.

Natalie Morales: I’d like to start by asking about the impact of the Hispanic vote on the 2012 election.

Julián Castro: It was an extremely important moment for

“What we’re looking for in America—like in baseball—is the opportunity to try, [to find] that level playing field.”

—Linda Alvarado, co-owner of the Colorado Rockies

NATALIE MORALES

The Today show news anchor, 40, was born to a Brazilian mother and a Puerto Rican father and is fluent in both Spanish and Portuguese.

Hispanics: Perception vs. Reality Statistical insights that may surprise you

PERCEPTION: If you are Hispanic, you speak Spanish. REALITY: Maybe. A 2012

survey from the Pew Hispanic Center found that 38 percent of U.S. Hispanics prefer Spanish, 38 percent are bilingual, and 24 percent prefer English. However, “use of English rises through the generations,” the researchers noted: 51 percent of U.S.-born Hispanics prefer English, which helps explain why only two of our four panelists (Alvarado and Jiménez) are fluent in Spanish.

PERCEPTION: Most Latinos are new immigrants. REALITY: More than six out of

every 10 Hispanics in America were born here. Of our four panelists, only one (Jiménez) was born outside the U.S.

there are so many obstacles?

Larry Gonzales: There’s a certain brain drain in this country. When these undocumented students are graduating in these STEM fields—science, technology, engineering, and math— we want them to stay. We need that kind of brain trust.

Morales: You ask any Latino parent what is the most important thing and they say education. Yet the Latino [high school] dropout rate is the worst in the country. Why? Alvarado: We need parental involvement. There’s a program in the Denver public schools where the teachers go to the students’ homes to meet the parents.

It is being able to sit down, to reach out.

Gonzales: I’m working on something for this legislative session that would allow the public schools to pay for parents to go back [to school]. I would love to see the state pay for a 35-year-old or 40-year-old parent to go to college, because for so many kids, regardless of race, who are dropping out, Mom and Dad didn’t go, Grandma didn’t go. I firmly believe that if we can find a way to get Mom and Dad reengaged, back in school, they will show the kids, “This is how it’s done.”

Castro: On November 6 we had on the ballot an eighthof-a-cent sales tax initiative to significantly enhance fullday pre-K for 4-year-olds in our city. So San Antonio will now have the broadest offering of pre-K in Texas.

Morales: Moving on to immigration: We know this will likely be one of the next political fights in Washington.

The president promised to make something happen in his second term, and in fact a recent poll by Politico found that 62 percent of Americans support immigration reform. So is change on the horizon?

Jiménez: The election results were a clear mandate for both parties—36 hours after the elections, we were seeing Republican consultants and others in the leadership talking about, “We must work on immigration.”

If you look at the exit polls, beyond the economy,

Latinos as participants in American democracy, because it was the first time, at the presidential level, that Latinos could see there was an electoral consequence to their participation—both in terms of who got reelected and the policy direction the country’s taken, particularly on immigration reform. Because literally, on November 7 [the day after the election], folks who had been against comprehensive immigration reform were changing their tune.

Linda Alvarado: I don’t think there’s a question now whether we will get out the vote. We will. And it’s not all about immigration. It is about education. It is about employment. It is about opportunity and access. Those are American ideas, not just Hispanic ideas. In Colorado, we had five [new] Hispanics elected [to the state legislature]. And guess what?

Cristina Jiménez: I’ve worked with many young people who want to succeed, and they realize that because of their immigration status, they can’t. They can’t go to college. They can’t do an internship.

Smokey reflects on becoming a “modern” bear, why he’ll never need a yacht, and how a little jar of honey can go a long way.

A day fishing in the outdoors, followed by a nap under a shady, towering oak tree, hat over my eyes, no wildfires to worry about.

I just got a publicist, and he tells me to make sure that my message doesn’t get lost in today’s climate of media oversaturation. And I really don’t like bees.

Funny story – there’s talk of a “Smokey” movie, so I was in Cannes, taking some meetings during the film festival – 60-foot yachts, parties everywhere, fame and fortune beckoning, and all I could think about was getting back to the outdoors. So there you have it.

I come off as this cuddly, sweet, fuzzy bear – but I have sharp teeth, and big claws – not that I would use them, but if people thought about ending up on the wrong side of them, maybe they’d be less careless in the outdoors. Other than that, I guess I could probably use a new pair of jeans.

Those who really embrace the cause of preventing wildfires – you’ll find them clutching a “Golden Smokey Award.”

Callous disregard for our forests and wildlands.

There’s no one I would rather be.

But Jack Nicholson comes close. That guy can tell some stories.

A friend of mine gave me this amazing jar of honey from Paris – I only open it once a year on my birthday.

I’d be nothing without my hat.

Spending time in any forest or wildland, anytime, anywhere.

Give me some grass beneath my feet, trees above my head and I’m in heaven.

I’m doing that even as we speak. Most people think of me as old school – but I’m catching up with the times. Two years ago, I would have thought the Internet was a way to catch salmon–now I’m working on a MySpace page and a daily blog.

The only lying I do involves hibernation.

Despise is a strong word – but when it comes to anyone who is careless with fire, let’s just say you don’t want to see me angry – I’m a Black Bear, not a teddy bear, remember?

The amazing wilderness that I am so lucky to call home, followed closely by a “special” lady bear in the Yellowstone area.

60+ years of preventing wildfires, but I’m just getting started.

I always say it’s my fur – but then again, how many bears have a motto?

Honesty. Integrity.

And a willingness to share food.

The men and women who put their lives on the line to prevent the spread of wildfires.

I know it’s ironic – but I love Goldilocks.

Wildfires! Boy, these questions are too easy.

Getting Older Doesn’t Have to Mean Looking Older.

5 Minute Face Lift tightens and nourishes your skin, creating smoother looking skin and turning back the clock.

DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift is a completely new and exciting skin care product, consumer tested to lift the skin’s appearance and render firmer looking skin quickly and effectively. DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift Tightening Serum results in the appearance of smoother looking skin.

From the moment you put it on, you will feel your skin tightening and firming. Small wrinkles will look diminished and your skin will feel refreshed. Facial skin will appear smoother, firmer and younger.

DermaSilk works on the primary reason mature facial skin loses its elasticity.

At the age of 40, the levels of collagen and elastin in your skin begin to greatly decline.

This loss is what leads to sagging, wrinkling and, unfortunately, older looking skin.

Before 5 Minute Face Lift

You don’t have to keep your wrinkles.

DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift restores the appearance of older looking skin by tightening and firming the appearance of aged skin within 5 minutes and, thus, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin for a beautiful and more youthful complexion.

And now you can look years younger in just 90 seconds.

One of the first places many people notice changes in their appearance is in the skin around the eyes. This is due to the fact that skin in this area is extremely thin and delicate, making it especially vulnerable to damage.

Through its firming cosmetic properties, DermaSilk 90 Second Eye Lift temporarily tightens the loose skin around your delicate eye area and reduces the appearance of crow’s feet, fine lines and under eye puffiness for a smoother and more youthful eye appearance.

Before

After

Don’t wait any longer to look younger.

Results pictured five minutes after application.

DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift is designed to temporarily improve the cosmetic appearance of skin. The product is not a substitute for medical procedures.

growth of the Hispanic community. Let me use a baseball analogy.

People say, “Linda, you just got into baseball because Hispanics are good at baseball.” But the difference between baseball and the other issues we’re talking about is access—because the rules are the same in every baseball park across America. The bases are the same distance apart. Everybody gets three strikes and four balls. What we’re looking for in America—like in baseball—is the opportunity to try, [to find] that level playing field.

Morales: Let’s talk about the cultural perspective. [More than] 20 countries make up our culture. Are there universal ties, though, that unite us?

Jiménez: It’s really the values. When I was in high school and was filling out my SAT application, I was asked for my Social Security number.

And I said, “I don’t have one.” My college adviser said, “You can’t go to college—I’m sorry. Go back home.” And it was my mom who turned that fear in me into courage. She said, “Go back and fill out that form— or I’m going to the school myself and get it!” It’s those values of courage, of opportunity, of education, of family. Those are American values.

Castro: When I think of what Latinos are going to mean to the United States as the population grows, it’s going to be a replenishment of exactly what made the United States a great nation: a great work ethic, faith, aspiration, community.

Alvarado: What makes me feel good about this is that we are coming together in ways that really don’t distinguish whether you’re Ecuadorean or Puerto Rican or vegetarian—whatever. Before, we had the media dividing our own community, and we don’t see that today. That’s not just good for us—that’s good for the future of America.

Gonzales: I agree with the mayor entirely on faith and hard work. My grandfather has a third-grade education. My grandmother [has a fifthgrade education]. But they knew that a good education was going to be the key to the family’s success. My father went to the University of Texas at Austin. He’s an aerospace engineer and worked 43 years at NASA. All of his siblings have at least one college degree. Most have multiple degrees. That sets up our generation. My cousins and I, everyone has at least one college degree. But it was my grandfather who said, you will go to school, you will go to UT Austin. That set everybody up.

Morales: What makes you most proud to be Latino, and what public figures do you think best represent the future of our community?

Castro: My mother was involved in the Chicano movement, and so was my father. So [my brother] Joaquín and I grew up in a fairly political household, even though they were not in office. I grew up hearing and reading about Cesar Chavez, so that’s one of the people I looked up to.

Jiménez: I grew up here as an undocumented student, and everything around me said, No. No scholarship, no fellowship, no internship, no access to higher education. What makes me proud is the community and my family around me really pushing me, with a lot of courage and faith, to continue moving forward.

Alvarado: The thing I’m most grateful for is that I’m here today not because I’m the exception to the rule but because other people opened doors for me. It’s not just about getting; it’s about giving back.

Was superstorm Sandy so bad because of global warming?

ILLUSTRATION: GRAFILU

—Robert Schreib, Toms River, N.J.

In this case several factors not directly related to climate change converged to generate the event. On Sandy’s way north, it ran into a vast highpressure system over Canada, which prevented it from continuing in that direction, as hurricanes normally do, and forced it to turn west. Then, because it traveled about 300 miles over open water before making landfall, it piled up an unusually large storm surge. An infrequent jet-stream reversal helped maintain and fuel the storm. As if all that weren’t bad enough, a full moon was occurring, so the moon, the earth, and the sun were in a straight line, increasing the moon’s and sun’s gravitational effects on the tides, thus lifting the high tide even higher. Add to this that the wind and water, though not quite at hurricane levels, struck an area rarely hit by storms of this magnitude—so the structures were more vulnerable— and a disaster occurred. One way global warming may have contributed is that the area’s sea level is somewhat higher than it was a century ago. A bit of good luck: Tides would have been even higher if the moon had been closer to us. Instead, it was just a few days from apogee, the point in its orbit where it’s farthest away.
