WALTER SCOTT ASKS...

SCOTTFOLEY The 42-year-old actor is no stranger to TV love triangles, from vying for the affections of Felicity on the 1998-2002 series of that name or wooing Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) away from the president on ABC’s Thursday-night smash, Scandal. You can also see him promoting Bausch + Lomb’s new line of BioTrue contact lens products. Which character is closer to you in real life, sweet Noel from Felicity or tough-guy Jake on Scandal? “I am no longer ashamed to say that Noel is much closer to my heart and my real personality. I have three kids now, I have a minivan; I’ve become that guy.”

Is Cote de Pablo, who played Ziva David on NCIS, still acting? —P. Hardin, Birmingham, Ala.

The whole Scandal cast interacts with fans on Twitter. What’s that like? “It’s really cool. I watched Little House on the Prairie when I was a kid. If I could have talked to Melissa Gilbert or Michael Landon while that show was airing, I would have ﬂipped out!” Can you give us any hints about what’s in store for Jake this season? “I’m just hoping to stay alive—it’s a different world now as a TV actor than it was 10 years ago. You can never be too sure!”

Jon Taffer, the star of Spike’s Sunday night Bar Rescue reality show, is heading to Las Vegas this week, where he’ll host the world’s largest bar and nightclub convention. Here are his ingredients for a great night at the bar. 1. Enough bartenders. “I go to a bar to enjoy a cocktail, socialize and have a great time—not to stand around waving my money hoping the bartender looks my way.”

Do you have any daredevil hobbies? “I did triathlons for a long time. I am very athletic and outdoorsy. I sort of live on the outskirts of L.A. We have a bunch of hiking trails around us. I am a big tennis player.” you see that, though, the former Frasier TV star, 60, will have moved on to Broadway for the dual role of Captain Hook and theatrical producer Charles Frohman in the new musical Finding Neverland, a retelling of the Peter Pan story based on the movie of the same name and the play The Man Who Was Peter Pan.

Raising the Bar

2. Real food options (not just peanuts). “A juicy, Kobe beef burger made with fresh meat wins every time.”

A: Indeed. De Pablo, 35, took several months off after her exit from NCIS, but she is back on CBS on March 31 in the two-night mini-series The Dovekeepers, based on Alice Hoffman’s novel about the siege of Masada, the ancient Jewish stronghold. “I was captivated by the characters,” she says. “They were incredibly strong women who did things out of passion and love.”

3. A bartender who knows when to stir and when to shake . “Don’t make my Old Fashioned the same way you’d make my Cadillac Margarita.” 4. Music that ﬁts the bar’s theme—at reasonable decibel levels. “I don’t go to a piano bar to hear Lil Wayne, and I shouldn’t have to injure my vocal chords trying to carry on a conversation.”

DEEP-SPACE TRAVEL AT HOME

An original creation by master jeweler Thomas Sota

Hold on to your spacesuit! Director Christopher Nolan’s epic science fiction flick, Interstellar, about a team of explorers who travel across space and time in an attempt to ensure humanity’s survival, arrives on Blu-ray and DVD March 31 ($23, Paramount). We asked astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson to weigh in on the film’s scientific accuracy. “The science that they tackled was ambitious. I’d give it an eight or nine out of 10,” he says. “They had a real science advisor, who is a friend of mine, and he’s an expert on Einstein’s general theory of relativity.”

GROWING GOOD

THE NEXT GENERATION OF KENNEDYS carries on the family’s public service legacy. By Dotson Rader • Cover photography by Jared Leeds

“Ask not what your country can do for you—Ask what you can do for your country.” office as his instrument for doing good, as did his brothers John and Robert Kennedy, other members of the family have taken alternate avenues of altruism. Regardless of how they’ve chosen to serve, the Kennedys share a zeal for public service that has endured for four generations. Patrick Kennedy, Ted’s younger son, says it all started with his “grandmother’s heavy emphasis on setting the moral code for the family.”

Doing Good & Faith Learned Young The non-partisan Edward M. Kennedy Insitute for the U.S. Senate hopes to inspire the next generation of citizens and leaders. It’s located on the campus of the University of Massachusetts in Boston.

“Teddy believed that when you became a Senator you became something bigger than yourself, that power had been vested in you to do the work of the people for

the good of the country,” says Victoria Reggie Kennedy, Ted Kennedy ’s second wife and co-founder of the EMK Institute. Although Ted elected to use public

Patrick’s grandparents were Joseph and Rose Kennedy, whose brood of nine included JFK and Robert Kennedy as well as Ted. The only sibling still living, Jean Kennedy Smith, credits her parents with instilling in their children a sense of obligation to understand and contribute to the world outside of the Kennedy fold. “ We were all

CHILDREN BY JARED LEEDS

They’re arguably the most memorable words ever spoken by a newly inaugurated U.S. president. But John F. Kennedy’s call to civic action is remarkable not only for being eloquently simple and succinct. It easily could be the motto of the entire Kennedy clan who, despite much personal tragedy and controversy, is so passionately and unwaveringly devoted to public service it seems to be in the family’s DNA. Today, the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate opens.The institute was the vision of the late Ted Kennedy who, inspired by his love of the Senate, wanted to create a place where the public could experience and learn about the legislative process and the importance of public debate and civic involvement. It is another milestone in this family’s public service legacy.

required to do something to make the world better,” she says. Now 87, Jean remembers that her mom would cut out articles from the newspaper and at meals “either put them on this board that she put by the kitchen or she’d clip them to her dress with a safety pin. And then she would unpin it and say, ‘Did you know that so and so is a Muslim now? Do you know what a Muslim is?’ And then we’d get a little lesson.” Ted Kennedy Sr. “felt very blessed to have come from the family that he did,” says Victoria Kennedy. “You’ve got these great role models of people who just kept on going, persevered, because it wasn’t about them. It was about the greater good.” “My father’s whole approach to service was informed by our family’s ethic, which was on the back of his mass card,” says Patrick. “It says to treat others essentially as you would want to be treated yourself. It’s so basic.” Victoria agrees: “Teddy always said his guiding principle was the Beatitudes. It’s about feeding the hungry, caring for the poor. It is what his brothers, mother and sisters all talked about: ‘Those to whom much is given, much is required.’ They had a real sense that you could do good in the world—and you had an obligation to.” It’s not surprising that the Kennedy tradition of service is steeped in religion: The family is famously Catholic. “Bobby almost was a priest, so he was very religious,” says Jean. “We all were, in diﬀerent ways. Because our parents were.” Tim Shriver, whose mother, Eunice, was one of Joe and

He went on to focus on disadvantaged kids and those with disabilities, and is now chairman of Special Olympics, which his mother founded in 1968.

Arthritis Sufferers Seek Pain Relief Alternatives It’s an indisputable and unfortunate fact of life for arthritis sufferers: oral pain medications for arthritis, including over-the-counter pain relievers and anti-infammatory medications, carry a long list of potential side effects. Just look at the warning labels on any of these medications, and you will be amazed by the problems that could arise. Of course, most people who take these prescription or over-the-counter medications don’t think twice when they’re in pain. Whether they think the negative side effects only happen to other people or they simply want relief, popping a pill is an easy thing to do. Unfortunately, even the over-the-counter medications that have been used and trusted for decades can pose health risks if misused, taken at the wrong dose or relied upon for a long period of time. Topical Products Growing in Popularity News reports about these risks have many arthritis sufferers looking for alternatives, which can be found in some topical pain relief products, like creams or ointments. But not all topical pain relievers are created equal. Some of the most widely used topical products contain capsaicin, which is an active component in hot peppers and has a warming effect on the skin. Others use menthol, which has a strong odor. According to the FDA, some products with these ingredients have caused skin irritation in rare instances. These products are typically associated with sports-related injuries or muscle pain, but many people use them for arthritis. The Secret Weapon for Arthritis Pain One standout product in the pain relief aisle is something of a surprise: Australian Dream® Arthritis Pain Relief Cream. Australian Dream was introduced years ago as a safe, effective

treatment for arthritis pain. In the last few years, the product has gained rapidly in popularity, becoming a best seller at many retailers.

‘We are going and you stay here.’ It was just accepted that you help people,” she recalls. The Kennedy kids’ acceptance and inclusion of Rosemary was an inspiration for Jean as well, who poured a passion for the arts into making them available for people with disabilities by founding VSA: the International Organization on Arts and Disability. “As a family we believed that every-

“What service isn’t, is lucrative. But what it is, is joyful and fun and fulfilling.” Unlike other topical pain relief products, Australian Dream has no odor, no greasy residue, and it does not burn the skin. It is a gentle, soothing cream that effectively relieves arthritis pain wherever you put it – your hands and other joints – without the side effects of some oral pain relievers. Australian Dream works differently from most pain relievers – topical or oral – but it is real medicine that provides real pain relief. Its active ingredient triggers vasodilation, or a widening of the blood vessels in the treated area, to increase circulation. This is actually one of the body’s natural ways to relieve pain. With all these benefts, it’s no wonder that Australian Dream has become so popular in recent years. Here’s one more beneft, and it’s quite possibly the most impressive: Australian Dream is backed by an exclusive Empty Jar Guarantee®. If you are not completely satisfed, you can send back the empty jar for a full refund – no questions asked. Australian Dream Arthritis Pain Relief Cream is available for purchase at retailers everywhere, including Walmart, Walgreens, Target, CVS/pharmacy, Rite Aid and also in many supermarkets.

body’s included. We’re in America, after all,” she says. “The arts are for everybody.” Today 7 million people of all ages and abilities participate in visual arts, performing arts and literary arts through VSA programs. Chris Lawford, the oldest son of Patricia Kennedy ( Joe and Rose’s sixth child) and actor Peter Lawford, has corralled his personal struggles with substance abuse into raising awareness about addiction and recovery. And while he too acknowledges the role Kennedy-esque moral and religious values played in his involvement in public service, he first credits his family with saving his life. “I tried for 10 years to get clean and sober. The only thing I did right was I never gave up and I wanted to get better. That comes from my family. That comes from a sense that you have an obliga10 | MARCH 29, 2015

tion to make the world better than when you got here,” he says. That was likely a driving factor for President John Kennedy when he signed the Community Mental Health Act in 1963, weeks before being assassinated. The goal of the bill was to establish mental health centers where people with illnesses like schizophrenia could be treated while living at home, rather than being institutionalized. Although only about half of the 1,500 proposed centers were built, JFK’s advocacy for the mentally ill has clearly remained an important issue for the younger generations of his family.

Drawing Strength from Sorrow

Edward M. Kennedy, who died in 2009, is recognized by both political parties as having been Amer ic a’s most impor tant advocate for national health care reform. His passion for this issue was driven, in part, by a personal brush with tragedy when his older son, Ted Jr., lost his right leg to bone cancer at the age of 12. “My father personally took command of the entire ordeal, being with me in the hospital room, sleeping there, giving me my injections, caring for me all that time,” says Ted Jr. “He met other families whose children were in my predicament, but those kids didn’t have access to health insurance or money; their families were personally bankrupted by their illness. He believed people shouldn’t be made destitute in caring for a sick child. He said that in taking care of me he developed his belief in the need for uniform health care. “My dad’s compassion,” he continues, “is indelibly imprinted on me.

I haven’t heard one of those wonderfully low, deep male voices in years. Are the hormones in foods affecting the voices of men? —Jan W., Surfside Beach, S.C.

Men’s voices are not known to be changing, and the hormones in food plants and animals wouldn’t affect them, anyway. Male voices differ from each other (and from female voices, for that matter) for one main reason: the length and width of the vocal cords that develop early in life. That’s influenced partly by testosterone and partly by genetic factors. Voice style— the cowboy versus the guy next door—also makes a difference; men can pitch their voices lower when they wish (ask your favorite guy to demonstrate, and you’ll get an earful) and they may even adopt the pitch they like best within their range. Remember, the bass and baritone are usually cast as the bad guys; the tenor is the one who gets the girl.
