George Jones

Q: Can I get a video or CD of the George Jones tribute show in Nashville last year? —Bob Padgett, via Facebook A: Unfortunately, no release is available. When the legendary country music star died last April at 81, a massive farewell con-

cert that’d been planned as his final public performance instead became a posthumous tribute.

A lineup of 112 artists, including Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, and Trisha Yearwood, played nearly 50 songs at a four-hour jam on Nov. 22 in Nashville. The concert wasn’t officially recorded, partly because negotiating broadcast and music-sales rights for so many folks would have been prohibitive. For more on the event, go to parade. com/jones.

Rita Moreno

Q: What’s new with Rita Moreno? —J. N., Dallas A: The actress and antipoverty crusader, 82, says she’s sad to be done playing Fran Drescher’s mom on TV Land’s Happily Divorced, canceled in 2013.

“A job wouldn’t hurt,” she jokes. “But I’m not complaining. I’m in the prime of my life. I’m busy doing concerts, and I appreciate more than ever being around to see my family.”

On Jan. 18, she’ll receive the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award (TNT and TBS will air the show). “I have to prepare a one-minute speech, which is hilarious,” she says. “I’m Puerto Rican—I can’t even say hello in one minute!”

A: He’s both. Longtime frontman for the heavymetal band Staind, Lewis, 41, scored a hit with his 2012 country album, The Road (best track: “Endless Summer”). But he also cohosts the Sportsman Channel hunting show On the Road, which in season one featured Lewis shooting deer and turkey, among other quarry. What’s his target as he films season two? “We’re going on a bunch of duck and water-fowl hunts in January,” he says. “Then in February, mountain lions.”

✦ Like Carl Sagan before him, Neil deGrasse Tyson wants

to “transform how we think about science” BY LYNN SHERR 4

“A Higgs boson goes into a church. …” ✶ Neil deGrasse Tyson—America’s best-known astrophysicist, with more than 1.5 million followers on Twitter—is telling a joke to the team shooting his photo for the cover of Parade. Standing in the American Museum of Natural History in New York, he continues: “And the priest says, ‘We don’t allow Higgs bosons here.’ And the Higgs boson says, ‘But without me there is no mass.’ ” Bada bing! ✦ He’s got another. “A photon walks into a bar and orders a drink,” Tyson begins, his resonant bass voice bubbling up from his 6-foot-2 frame. “The bartender says, ‘Do you want a double?’ And the photon says, ‘No, I’m traveling light.’ ” Bada boom! ✷ Everyone laughs, without necessarily knowing that a photon is a tiny particle of light, or that the Higgs boson, the so-called “God particle,” gives everything physical mass. Tyson’s delivery is so enticing, his playfulness so charming, it’s no wonder Jon Stewart repeatedly features him on The Daily Show. “It’s one thing to be a lauded astrophysicist,” Stewart says. “It’s another to possess a gift for comedic timing. You don’t normally get both, but that’s Neil.” ★ At 55, Tyson is a science rock star whose passion for the laws of nature is matched by his engaging explanations of topics ranging from the mystery of dark matter to the absurdity of zombies. Starting in March, he will become an even bigger cultural phenomenon as he hosts Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey, a 13-part, prime-time series airing on both Fox and the National Geographic Channel that will, in Tyson’s words, help you “understand your relationship to other humans, to the rest of the tree of life on Earth, to the rest of the planets in the uni-

If you purchased Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium) for yourself or your family, a class action lawsuit may affect your rights.

You may be affected by a class action lawsuit about whether AstraZeneca AB, Aktiebolaget Hassle, AstraZeneca LP, Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Ranbaxy Inc., Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd., Teva USA, Inc., Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd., and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. (together, the “Defendants”) hurt competition and violated various state laws by delaying the availability of allegedly less expensive generic versions of Nexium. The lawsuit claims that these acts caused people and entities to pay too much for Nexium. The Defendants deny any wrongdoing. The lawsuit seeks money for those affected.

ARE YOU AFFECTED? As a Consumer, you are a member of the Class if you purchased or paid for some or all of the purchase price for Nexium, in capsule form, for consumption by yourself or your family and: (1) between April 14, 2008 and the present in ME, VT and/or WI; or (2) between August 24, 2008 and the present in AZ, CA, D.C., FL, IA, MA, MI, MN, NE, NV, NM, NY, NC, ND, OR, RI, SD, UT (while a resident or citizen of UT), and/or WV; or (3) between August 24, 2009 and the present in KS, MS, and/or TN. As a Third-Party Payor, you are a member of the Class if you purchased or paid for some or all of the purchase price for Nexium, in capsule form, for consumption by your members, employees, insureds, participants, or beneficiaries (including government-funded employee benefit plans) and at least one of the date/regional qualifiers above applies to you. If you are obligated to pay a tiered co-payment (e.g., a co-payment amount that differs between brand and generic prescriptions, like $30 for brand and $10 for generic) or a percentage of the purchase price (e.g., 20% of the total price), you are in the Class.

You are NOT a Class Member if you: (a) have a “Cadillac Plan” “flat co-payment” as part of your insurance coverage, which means that your health insurance requires you to pay a flat co-payment amount (e.g., $5) for a prescription regardless of whether it is a brand or generic, and all of your purchases of Nexium were made through this plan; (b) are a pharmacy benefit manager without a capitation agreement, regardless of whether you accepted AstraZeneca rebates for Nexium; (c) are a government entity, except for government funded employee benefit plans; (d) are a fully insured health plan (i.e., a plan that purchased insurance from another Third-Party Payor covering 100% of your reimbursement obligations to its members); (e) purchased Nexium only directly from Defendants or only for resale purposes; (f) purchased or received Nexium only through a Medicaid program; (g) are one of the Defendants or an officer, director, manager, employee, subsidiary, or affiliate of Defendants; or (h) are the judge in this lawsuit or a member of the judge’s immediate family.

WHO REPRESENTS YOU? The Court appointed Hilliard & Shadowen LLC, Wexler Wallace LLP, Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll, PLLC, and Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP, to represent you as “Class Counsel.” If Class Counsel obtains money or benefits for the Classes, they may ask the Court for fees and expenses. You will not have to pay any of these fees and expenses. If the Court grants their request, the fees and expenses may be deducted from any money obtained for the Classes or may be paid separately by the Defendants. You may hire your own lawyer to appear in Court for you, but if you do, you will have to pay that lawyer.

WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS AND OPTIONS? You can stay in the lawsuit or opt out of it. If you do nothing, you are choosing to stay in the lawsuit. This means you will be legally bound by all orders and judgments of the Court, and you will not be able to sue or continue to sue the Defendants about the legal claims in this case. If money or benefits are awarded or obtained, you will be able to ask for a share. If you do not want to stay in the lawsuit, you must submit an opt out request. If you opt out of the lawsuit, you cannot get any money or benefits if any are awarded or obtained, but you will keep any rights to sue the Defendants for the same claims in a different lawsuit. If you opt out, you will not be bound by any orders or judgments in this case. To opt out, send a letter to the address below postmarked by January 17, 2014. Your request to opt out must include: (a) your name, address and telephone number; and (b) a statement that you want to opt out of the Class in In re Nexium Antitrust Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:12-md-02409-WYG. WANT MORE INFORMATION? Go to the website, call toll-free or write to Nexium End Payor Notice Administrator, P.O. Box 43229, Providence, RI 02940-3229.

verse, and to the rest of the universe itself. I want it to get inside your skin. I want you to be so affected that the world looks completely different.”

It has been 34 years since PBS aired the original Cosmos series, subtitled A Personal Journey and hosted by Carl Sagan, another popularizer of science (and frequent Parade contributor; see page 11) and one of Tyson’s mentors. The 1980 Cosmos riveted some 750 million viewers in more than 175 countries and became an Emmy and Peabody award–winning megahit; its accompanying book occupied the New York Times best-seller list for more than a year. Sagan regularly bantered on late-night TV with Johnny Carson, who donned a turtleneck sweater, a corduroy jacket, and a mop of a wig to lampoon the astronomer’s awe at the “billions and billions” of galaxies out there—a phrase never actually uttered by Sagan in the series, but one that became his signature nevertheless. When Sagan died in 1996 at 62, his legacy was as infinite as the show’s opening line: “The cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be.”

“We were going for something biblical,” says Ann Druyan, Sagan’s widow and, along with astronomer Steven Soter, cowriter. “Something epic, with a poetry that would catch people.” Now Druyan and Soter have rewritten and rebooted the series for today’s world. After years of “hostility towards science,” Druyan says, we “are beginning to look up at the stars and dream again.”

Tyson agrees we are enjoying a “space moment,” one that goes far beyond the buzz over recent discoveries about exoplanets (planets orbiting stars other than our own sun) and rich tourists signing up for flights on rocket ships. “Artists have come to embrace science in ways I’ve never seen before,” he says.

As evidence, Tyson points to the hit movie Gravity (which he liked but took to task for some inaccuracies on Twitter), the top-rated sitcom The Big Bang Theory (on which he has appeared), and the hit forensic drama CSI. “That’s how you know science has become mainstream. It’s with us and around us.

That gives me great hope that Cosmos will land on hugely fertile ground, possibly transforming how we

Cosmos, the Next Generation The rebooted series keeps original concepts like the Ship of the Imagination, with new digital effects (below).The inventor of spectroscopes, Joseph Fraunhofer (left), examines a prism in an animated sequence.

✦ think about science as a driver of our future.”

Some elements of the original series have been retained: the Ship of the Imagination (transporting viewers through space and time) and the Cosmic Calendar (compressing 13.8 billion years into a single year-at-a-glance, where humans arrive only in the last few seconds). But the adventure has been updated with dazzling special effects, from the heart of an atom to the promise of deep space, including a look at a day on the beach on Venus, before that planet became an infernal cauldron. And heroic stories of scientific exploration are told using animation by a team selected by Seth MacFarlane, who created the Fox series Family Guy and American Dad! MacFarlane, 40, is also a Cosmos executive producer, a science enthusiast who, after meeting Tyson through the Science & Entertainment Exchange (a program to foster better scientific content in storytelling), invited him to lunch and asked how he might support Tyson’s work. “I said, ‘I’m at a point in my career where I have some disposable income,’ ” MacFarlane recalls, “ ‘and I’d like to spend it on something worthwhile.’ ” MacFarlane says he’s brought none of Family Guy’s visual style or edgy humor to the science show. Rather, he brought the series to Fox, positioning it for a far broader audience than at the cable channels the Cosmos team had been pitching.

“This would be a level of exposure for science that has never been reached before,” Tyson says, thrilled with prime time on a commercial network.

“And that, for me, is the most important fact about this rendering of Cosmos.”

Druyan passed Sagan’s torch to Tyson, honoring a relationship begun in the mid-’70s, when Sagan generously showed the then high school student around his Cornell lab. Tyson chose to attend Harvard instead but absorbed the message. “He

Tyson developed his love of science as the second of three children of a middle-class family from the Bronx; his father, a civil rights champion, served in various social services agencies, and his stay-at-home mom later went back to earn her degree in gerontology. They were his anchors, “my moral role models for how to think about others in a world where there’s not enough of that going on,” says Tyson, sitting in his comfortably cluttered museum office filled with rocket models, cosmology-adorned pillows, and two reproductions of Van Gogh’s Starry Night. His parents also gave him his first telescope after a transformative childhood trip to the Hayden Planetarium, which he now runs. “Initially I thought it was a hoax,” he says of the space show he saw that day. “The sky over the Bronx just didn’t have that many stars.” That vision gave him purpose, a bold dream for a young black man at the time.

✷ cist and that’s how I defined myself, not by my skin color,” Tyson says. But others did, in ways sadly familiar to many young AfricanAmerican males. “People didn’t treat me as someone with science ambitions,” he says. “They treated me as someone they thought was going to mug them, or who was a shoplifter. I’d be in a department store and the security would follow me. Taxis wouldn’t stop for me. And I was just glad I had something to think about other than how society was treating me.” In school, he adds, “teachers would say, ‘You should join this or that team,’ not the physics club.

My fuel tank had been stoked since I was 9, but it took some energy to overcome the resistance. I wondered if there was a lost generation of people who succumbed because their fuel tanks were a little smaller than mine.”

Tyson’s own powerful drive propelled him through graduate school at Columbia University, then to a research position at Princeton. He has held his current job, as Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural

Sagan’s Stories Read one of Carl Sagan’s stories for Parade about the legacy of the Apollo space mission and more of his work as a contributing writer at parade.com/sagan.

History, since 1996, and home is Manhattan, where he lives with his wife, Alice Young, a mathematical physicist now retired from Bloomberg Financial Markets, and his two children, Miranda, 17, and Travis, 13.

But Tyson sees himself as a citizen of the entire universe, and he believes knowledge about science and space can help protect what Sagan called “the pale blue dot” of Earth. “Cosmos is not only about updating you on what science is but also conveying why it matters—especially in the 21st century, when issues related to science are fundamental to political issues,” Tyson says. “There are political hot potatoes that could be settled or informed if we became more scientifically literate.”

Not that Tyson—or anyone— has all the answers to the mysteries of the universe. For example, are there little green men out there? “No astrophysicist would deny the possibility of life,” he says, smiling. “I think we’re not creative enough to imagine what life would be like on another planet.” And he wants proof.

“Show me a dead alien. Better yet, show me a live one!”

Tyson’s exuberance and ready wit inspire Giuseppe Lombardo, the 11-year-old son of Parade’s photography director, who has been excused from school to meet one of his heroes. Playing off the size of a gigabyte (1,024 megabytes), he asks, “Have you heard of the band 1020 Megabytes?” “No,” says Tyson, curious. “Of course you haven’t,” Giuseppe says.

“They haven’t got any gigs yet!”

Tyson laughs long and hard, well aware that it’s a good sign for the cosmos when kids are telling jokes about science, too.

F

or Jane Pauley, midlife was such a welcome turning point that she publicly embraced it in her late 30s.

Briefly.

After calling herself middleaged several times on the Today show in 1989, an NBC executive weighed in.

“He told me to knock it off,” she says, laughing. “I was so 25 when I started cohosting. I felt too young and ill-equipped.

By 39, I had three children, life experience and a pretty solid career. It felt great to be middle-aged.”

She laughs again. “I was a little ahead of my times.”

Pauley, now 63, coanchored Today from 1976 to 1989, then went on to cohost Dateline NBC for 11 years. In 2004, she was the host of the short-lived The Jane Pauley Show. She has returned to Today to host a monthly segment profiling people who have reinvented themselves in middle age. Her new book, Your Life Calling: Reimagining the Rest of Your Life, is out this month.

“The only qualifications I have to write this book are insight and foresight,” she says.

“I knew that middle age was going to last a long time.”

Part memoir, part celebration

To read an excerpt from Your Life Calling, go to parade.com/pauley.

LIFE IN THE MIDDLE AGES

“Say ‘Yes’ as Often as You Can” Jane Pauley on being courageous, the upside of failing, and her inspiring strategy for her next chapter By Connie Schultz of baby boomers’ next chapters in life, the book is also a big nudge for a generation that is, once again, reaching a social and cultural milestone.

“By the end of 2014, every baby boomer will have turned 50,” she says. “It’s the beginning of a new and aspirational time of life. The question for most of us is: ‘What am I going to do for the next 40 years?’”

Her advice: Remain engaged and contribute—and take risks.

Pauley is candid about her

own setbacks and disappointments, including the challenge of a bipolar disorder diagnosis and the cancellation of her 2004 daytime show. Many of her stories revolve around her three grown kids. Once a mom, always a mom, and she is mindful of the example she and her husband, Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau, continue to set for them.

It’s okay, she says, for them to see her stumble.

“Their parents are ridiculous

role models. Garry was doing Doonesbury before he left college. I was on Today at 25.

They saw me try that daytime show and then they saw me fail. I wasn’t going to topple Oprah. They were cool with that. My definition of success was having the courage to try.”

She was encouraged by actor Michael J. Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991. Still acting, he heads a foundation that funds Parkinson’s research.

“Say ‘yes’ as often as you can,” Fox told her. “ ‘No’ doesn’t move you.”

Daring to change the trajectory of your life can sometimes rattle family members.

Do it anyway, Pauley says.

“When I wrote my memoir [2005’s Skywriting], I had to get out of the mind-set of ‘Janie the youngest,’ ‘Janie the delightful little girl,’ ” she says.

“Women especially are locked into being ‘little someone’ to somebody else. In our 40s, those scales fall away.”

Trudeau has remained a steadfast believer in the many lives of Jane. “When I left Today, Garry was supportive, but I could see him wondering, ‘What is she going to do now?’

But he didn’t discourage me.

“Maybe that’s the best we can do: Say nothing, and watch what happens next. Life is scary wonderful. It’s great to learn how resilient you can be.”

Why is it usually easier to solve a maze when you start at the end and go backward? —Wendy LeBolt, Herndon, Va.

Here’s a tip that will help you solve many mazes—though once you know it, you may ďŹ nd that ordinary mazes aren’t fun anymore.
