Herb Alpert

Q: Does Herb Alpert still play with the Tijuana Brass? —Ken C., Santa Fe A: Not since the mid-’80s. The king of mellow trumpeters—who won his first Grammys in 1966 and whose Steppin’ Out is up for Pop Instrumental Album—says he had no actual band when he did the first Brass album in 1962, inspired by mariachis he saw at a Tijuana bullfight. “I used L.A. musicians,” says Alpert, 78. “Modestly, I played all the trumpet parts.” (He multitracked them.) In 1965, after four hit albums, Alpert formed a touring band with six other guys—none Latino. Hear some of his songs at parade.com/alpert.

she’ll be “the Susan Lucci of the Grammys. I’ve lost to all the greats; once I lost to Stephen Colbert’s Christmas songs. It’s an honor to be nominated— but you want the statue!”

The Grammy-winning rapper and NCIS: Los Angeles star, 46, hosts the night.

It’s your third time hosting—any worries? You gotta embrace it with grace. I don’t go out there pretending I’m Billy Crystal. I have to be myself. Some say Jay Z got snubbed in top categories. I’d say nine nominations is nothing to sneeze at. Everybody can’t get everything every year. I don’t think he should feel slighted. Is the music biz rough on young stars like Lorde? I was 16 when I started at Def Jam, so I can relate to what she’s going through. It can be a very exciting and confusing time. What are the pitfalls? It takes a mature person to stay grounded. And in this age, the criticism can be brutal. You took some yourself this year over “Accidental Racist” with Brad Paisley. Sometimes you’re dealing with people who don’t want to see you evolve. If you don’t like somebody because they’re growing, what does that say about you? Ever get tired of all the hats and caps? Hey, for a guy with a shaved head, it feels good!

TUNE IN TONIGHT, CBS, 8 P.M. ET

1 She was born Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O’Connor in New Zealand. 2 Her stage name reﬂects her fascination with aristocracy. She added the “e” to make it girlier. 3 With “Royals,” she became the youngest artist in 26 years to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. 4 She has chided fellow nominee Lana Del Rey for singing “desperate” breakup songs, saying they’re “not a good thing for young girls.” 5 Katy Perry and David Bowie are among her fans. Lorde has said Bowie told her that hearing her is like “listening to tomorrow.” 6 She’ll tour the U.S. starting in March.

THE LEGACY OF A LEGENDARY

TV | Physicist Stephen Hawking (below) looks back on his extraordinary career and complicated personal life in a fascinating documentary. (PBS, Jan. 29; see footage at parade .com/hawking)

COACH In Wooden: A Coach’s Life, journalist Seth Davis sheds light on how iconic UCLA basketball coach John Wooden won 10 NCAA championships in the ’60s and ’70s. Three of his quirkier strategies:

1. Players had to wear two pairs of 50 percent cotton socks with wrinkles smoothed to prevent blisters; their shoes also had to be a half size too small. 2. Wooden insisted his players eat the same meal four hours before every tip-off: steak or roast beef, baked potato, three pieces of celery, and fruit cocktail. 3. His pregame ritual: He’d pull up his socks, spit on the ﬂoor, rub the spit with his foot, rub his hands together, pat his assistant on the leg, and ﬂash the “okay” sign to his wife, Nell, in the crowd. For more, plus 10 of Coach Wooden’s most motivating quotes, go to parade.com/coach.

Author John Green dedicated his hit novel, The Fault in Our Stars, to Esther Earl, a bright teen he met in 2009. But Earl died of thyroid cancer at age 16 before Green’s book came out, and “the person I most want to read it never will,” Green writes in the intro to This Star Won’t Go Out—a collection of Earl’s journals and drawings.

There’s only one Iron Chef with a better record than mine, and it’s this guy,” Mario Batali says, nudging Michael Symon. “That wins him some marginal amount of useless street cred, but it ’s bragging rights, and that’s a big thing.” Batali and Symon are in the greenroom at The Chew, ABC’s food-driven daytime talk show that’s become an unlikely smash hit—and a very big thing for the two cohosts and longtime pals. They’ve just wrapped the 500th episode, and neither the series nor the pair’s backstage banter show any signs of slowing down. We got together with the award-winning chefs for a lively chat about their love of bologna, golf, football, and the all-American ritual of cooking for the big game. Plus: They each created a menu of Super Bowl party dishes that even a rookie could tackle before kickoff.

How did you guys get to be friends? MICHAEL SYMON: I think we met in Aspen in ’98 for the Food & Wine festival. MARIO BATALI: We share a mutual lack of respect for authoritarian culture. And we have a good time together. And our food styles are similar. We like the 6 | JANUARY 26, 2014

less heroic cuts of meat because their ﬂavor is better. We like the provocation of selling someone a beef cheek when they’re used to eating a ﬁlet. M S : Right.

sometimes gets in the way of fun. When you’re together, who cooks?

For all the banter on the show, you guys obviously admire each other. What most impresses you about the other one?

Michael’s restaurant B Spot is one of my favorites. The last time I was there I had the fried bologna sandwich. MS: We make our own bologna. MB: To this day, there are still goose bumps on my arm from the magniﬁcent simplicity and the unabashed hominess of such a dish. This is about the guts and glory of the true Midwest ﬂavors. MS: It’s definitely a midwestern thing. We had Kirstie Alley on The Chew yesterday. She’s from Kansas and she was talking about bologna gravy and I’m like, “Oh my God, this woman—she’s talking my language.” MB:

To win an autographed jersey, go to facebook.com/parademag. MB: She made a pretty good biscuits and gravy, I gotta say. MS: Mario’s always pushed the boundaries. It would’ve been very easy for him, with his success, to kinda sit back and coast. But every year he continues to push. He also doesn’t worry about what other people think—and he never has, as you can tell by his outﬁt.

HELP YOUR TEAM TACKLE HUNGER ven if your team isn’t in the Super Bowl, it can still be a contender in a more important fight: the Kick Hunger Challenge.

At press time, the Seattle Seahawks were leading the pack, having raised over $25,000 for Food Lifeline. Put your team on top with a donation! Go to support.tasteofthenfl.com.

I’m giving self-value to people with questionable fashion taste.

MB:

What do you guys talk about when you eat out together? MS: We talk about our families a lot. We talk about food and restaurants and golf. MB: He’s better at golf than I am. MS: I’m decent. I learned from my grandfather and father at age 8. MB: The beauty of golf is that it is among the few things that you can actually get better at after you hit age 50. You’re never going to run as far or as fast or throw the football as long as you once did, but you can actually get better at golf. MS: We’d like to golf together a little more. We’d like to be at each other’s houses for dinner a little more. Fortunately, we’re all busy, but unfortunately that means work

MB : At my house, I cook. At his house, he cooks. MS: It’s just, “Come on over.” MB: We did a choucroute [Alsatian sausages and sauerkraut] a couple weeks ago, and I said, “You gotta come over.” MS: Oh, I came over. MB: His wife was out of town, and we just sat around with my kids. We don’t eat at a dining room table. We eat at our kitchen counter.

There are a lot of chefs on TV nowadays. Is that good or bad for the culture of actual cooking?

There’s great cooking television and terrible cooking television and a lot in the middle. But in general it’s made people more aware of food and lifted it up. As someone born and raised in Cleveland, I’ve seen that when cooking television grew [in popularity], so did the [offerings at] grocery stores in those regions. Before Emeril Live you could go into a Cleveland grocery store and your only mushroom option was button mushrooms. MB: One thing I’ll say is you could much more easily learn how to make my lasagna than to hit as many home runs as A-Rod.

Sunday With... No, I like it! Here’s the deal: Fox News has great hair and makeup and wardrobe artists. I feel terriﬁc when I’m on the set, but I don’t wake up looking like that.

WHAT DID SHE LEARN FROM THE SANTAIS-WHITE CONTROVERSY? FIND OUT AT

PARADE.COM/KELLY.

What’s a typical Sunday like for your family? We go to the park, we ride our bikes, we go out with the kids on their scooters. Normal stuff that parents do. If we have any energy left by 7:30 after our kids are down, we usually order in and get ready for Homeland! I also love Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, and Mad Men.

PARADE: Why has your show

resonated with viewers? If you watch Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity or even my competition on other channels, these are anchors who come out and argue a position. That’s not me. What I do is the news. I can put a sharp point on it in a way that offers compelling television, but I’m not giving advice to politicians. Yet you don’t shy away from challenging your guests. I don’t let people get off point. I’m ﬁne interrupting somebody or cutting off talking points. I am not loyal to the Republican party or the Democratic party; I am loyal to the viewers. Did you have a political upbringing? Not really. I didn’t grow up in a family that discussed politics. I majored in political science, and

Megyn Kelly

The anchor of The Kelly File on lawyers, loss, and the team it takes to keep her looking great

when I became a lawyer I got more interested in the political arena from a sparring standpoint. I do enjoy watching how the debate unfolds. What has been your experience as a woman in the legal and media professions? There was much more paternalism in my legal career. Older male lawyers from other ﬁrms would say, “Your skirt needs to be below your knee” or “You

shouldn’t wear slingback shoes.” Ridiculous comments they had no business making because they thought they knew better about what would play with the jury and how women would perceive another woman. I haven’t had that in television. I get a lot of feedback from female viewers saying, “You’re a role model for my daughter.” Does the attention you get for your looks bother you?

Didn’t you teach aerobics for a time? My father died of a heart attack my sophomore year of high school, and I made the connection between longevity and how you treat your body, so I started working out. I taught aerobics for 10 years—it helped pay for law school, actually. How else did losing your father at that age impact you? It deﬁnitely made me more empathetic to people who have loss in their lives. It’s made me think a lot about my own mortality and given me more of a carpe diem approach to life. I know what’s important—not this big TV career, not this paycheck. What I’ll remember is the time I spent making that ghost costume with my son and taking my daughter to her ballet lesson and hearing my baby laugh. As long as I have a family I love and ﬁnd time to be with, I’ll have done it right.

Now she’s bringing her straight-shooting style to prime time as anchor of Fox News Channel’s popular weeknight program The Kelly File. Kelly, who’s also a lawyer, lives in the New York area with her husband, novelist Douglas Brunt, and their three children, ages 6 months to 4 years. “With my new schedule,” she tells Erin Hill, “I have the day to spend with them, then I go off to work.

Word Teaser Can you guess the meaning? ogress

When we exercise outdoors on a cold day, why do we sweat and feel hot? —R. S., Chicago Try taking your temperature after a workout. It actually climbs! A part of the brain (the hypothalamus) responds to signals from temperature receptors throughout the body by making adjustments to maintain a constant core temperature. For example, your skin receptors reacting to merely standing still on a hot day may cause your hypothalamus to cool your body by cranking up your sweat rate. But during exercise, your body produces its own excess heat, mostly from large muscle contractions. (Our bodies are inefﬁcient engines, and we lose a lot of energy as heat.) No wonder your brain turns on the sweat machine. Just by working out hard, even in a cool gym, you may send your temperature to 104 degrees. GOT A QUESTION FOR MARILYN?

id you ever dream of being president? I sure did. The commander in chief gets a world-class jet, a bulletproof car, and a big white house—not to mention his own movie theater and private concerts with Beyoncé and Paul McCartney. To me, one of the greatest things about being an American is that anyone can be president. Right now, somewhere in our 50 states, there’s a little kid who will grow up to be the leader of the free world. There’s just one problem: Kids today don’t want the job. In a poll of participants between the ages of 10 and 16 conducted by my publisher, Penguin Young Readers, only 27 percent reported presidential aspirations. Among 15and 16-year-olds, the figure dropped to 13 percent! When asked in an openended question what they do want to be, only one kid said president. Our nation’s highest public office tied with “alien.” Pro athlete was the most popular answer, followed by teacher and veterinarian (another tie), then scientist, then doctor. Kids don’t even look up to the president. When we asked about their heroes, just 2 percent voted for him. We can’t fault our current head of state. When George W. Bush was in the White House, a Scholastic poll revealed that just 19 percent of kids wanted to be president. To find out why kids think

Do Kids Still Want to Be President? Novelist Brad Meltzer set out to learn the answer— and discovered some pint-size hope

DREAM ACT: Americans of all ages were inspired by this famous 2009 encounter between the president and 5-year-old Jacob Philadelphia.

so little of a position that was once so revered, I did a second survey, in my daughter’s elementary school. I had the opportunity to ask her third grade class a series of open-ended questions. Over and over, the kids expressed the opinion that being president was “too much work” and “too hard.” Are kids today just lazier? Not likely. In the Penguin poll, when participants were asked to rank top qualities for success, their No. 1 answer was

hard work. So why the disdain for the White House? We’ve taught it to them. They see our frustration with Washington every day—at the dinner table, online, on TV. Partisanship and a snarky news media are partly to blame, says George Stephanopoulos, chief political correspondent at ABC News and former communications director and senior adviser to President Bill Clinton. “What trickles down to kids is that the job is thankless. If you

stick your head out, you get beaten back.” Our impossibly high standards for the president are part of the problem as well, says Stephanopoulos: “We elect our presidents with all this hope and all this expectation. The fact is, the job just isn’t that powerful. The president is one actor among many. By design.” Our dissatisfaction gives our kids the impression that the president is ineffectual. It’s no wonder they have no desire to sit in his chair. But a few little dreamers in my daughter’s class showed me an important exception to the rule. As I ﬂipped through their essays, I stopped on one child who wrote that she’d rather be president than anything else “because I don’t want to do what other people do.” The moment I saw her answer, my eyes welled up; I recognized my daughter’s handwriting. I wish I could take credit for her ambition, but my daughter got there all by herself. Still, I like to think that along the way, she picked up on the deep respect for government service that my wife and I harbor. So do your kids a favor: No matter how you feel about politics today, share with them something you love about your favorite president. Who knows? Maybe it’ll give us a future commander in chief. Brad Meltzer’s new children’s books are I Am Amelia Earhart and I Am Abraham Lincoln.

U.S. Gov’t Issued coins go to residents in 48 states Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins are actually being handed over to U.S. residents who find their state listed below, but only those who beat the 48 hour deadline are getting the Vault Bags of nearly 100 year old Gov’t issued coins for just $59 The phones are ringing off the hook. That’s because for the next 48 hours Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen Indian Head coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t nearly 100 years ago are being released to U.S. residents who find their state highlighted in black on the Distribution Map printed in today’s publication. Everyone is rushing to get the Vault Bags because each one is loaded with nearly a quarter pound of rarely seen Indian Head coins dating all the way back to the early 1900s. “It’s hard to tell how much these heavy Vault Bags could be worth someday. That’s because after they were filled with U.S. Gov’t issued coins, the bags were sealed for good,” said Timothy J. Shissler, Director of Vault Operations for the private World Reserve. Since this advertising announcement can’t stop collectors from hoarding all the rarely seen coins they can get, the World Reserve has imposed a strict limit of 10 Vault Bags per resident. That’s why it’s important that residents call the National Distribution Hotlines beginning at precisely 8:30am this morning. Everyone who does is getting the Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t nearly 100 years ago for just $59 and shipping and handling, which is a real steal since just one scarce and highly collectible Indian Head coin alone could be worth up to hundreds of dollars in collector

Who gets the Vault Bags: Shown below are the U.S. states that get the Vault Bags. If you live in one of the states highlighted in black immediately call the National Distribution Hotline at: 1-866-338-2777

value. And here’s the best part. Everyone who claims four Vault Bags before all the money is gone is getting free shipping and free handling. “We’re bracing for all the calls because there are just hours left for residents to get the Vault Bags,” Shissler said. So, U.S. residents who find their state highlighted in black on the Distribution Map below need to immediately call the National Distribution Hotlines before the 48-hour deadline ends to get the Vault Bags. If lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. N

VALUABLE: ISSUED BY THE U.S. GOV’T NEARLY 100 YEARS AGO

How to get the bags of U.S. Gov’t issued coins Shown to the left in black are the U.S. States that get the Vault Bags. If you live in one of the states highlighted in black immediately call the National Distribution Hotline before the 48-hour deadline ends at: 1-866-338-2777

How much are the Vault Bags worth: Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but here’s why residents are rushing to claim the Vault Bags before they’re all gone. After the Vault Bags were loaded with rarely seen coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t they were sealed for good. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you sort through all the coins. So you better believe at just $ 59 and shipping the Vault Bag fee is a real steal, since just one scarce and highly collectible Indian Head coin alone could be worth up to hundreds of dollars in collector value.

Why is the Vault Bag fee so low: Because thousands of U.S. residents have missed the deadline to claim the money, the World Reserve has re-allocated Vault Bags that will be scheduled to be sent out in the next 48 hours. That means the money is up for grabs and now any resident who finds their state highlighted in black on the Distribution Map printed in today’s publication gets to claim the Vault Bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside. Each Vault Bag loaded with nearly a quarter pound of rarely seen Indian Head coins is set at $78 for residents who miss the deadline, but for those who beat the 48-hour deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $ 59 and the best part is everyone who claims four Vault Bags before all the money is gone is getting free shipping and free handling as long as they call the National Distribution Hotline before the deadline ends.
