Kevin Hart trades romantic banter with Regina Hall in About Last Night.

Q: How did Kevin Hart like doing romantic comedy in About Last Night? —Rodney L., Detroit A: The wound-up standup, 35, played courtship as flat-out farce in January’s No. 1 hit Ride Along. But he downshifted for About Last Night, a remake of the 1986 film starring Rob Lowe and Demi Moore, out Feb. 14. “My biggest challenge was being funny and still coming off real within the love story,” Hart says. Is he busy celebrating Ride’s success? “No,” he jokes. “I’m too focused on taking over the world.”

And she counts Colin Farrell among such memorable costars as Cary Grant and Marlon Brando. Farrell, she says, gave her “five dozen pale beige roses. He’s adorable, very dear.”

A: “If they were ditch diggers, I would be just as proud,” says Alma, 71, who stars with them on A&E’s reality series Wahlburgers (Wednesdays), about the family’s restaurant business. “They’re good people, and that’s what matters to me.” Viewers will also meet older brother Paul, who surprised Alma by going to culinary school. “I said, ‘You’re so accidentprone,’ ” she recalls. “I pictured him burning or cutting off his fingers.

On Medicare and have diabetes? Ask Marilyn By Marilyn vos Savant

When you wrote about fiber [Oct. 6, 2013], you described two kinds: non-soluble and water-soluble. You said that water-soluble fiber may dissolve into the canning fluid if the food has been chopped or diced, etc., and that cutting fresh fruits and veggies may cause this fiber to dissolve into the cooking water. What’s more, I have heard that water-soluble fiber is digestible and nutritious. Is this true? —Judy Wright Walter, Texarkana, Ark. Neither of these types of fiber is “digestible” in the sense that they provide nutritional value. They do not. Yet both play major roles in the digestive process. Non-soluble fiber remains more intact as it passes through the intestines; water-soluble fiber forms a gel-like substance. Each is important for health. (Fiber is also hugely helpful to prevent weight gain.) When fruits and vegetables are sliced or diced, etc., then cooked or canned, some of the water-soluble fiber dissolves into the cooking or canning liquid. So the fiber is lost unless you drink the fluid, and who wants to do that?! You will get more watersoluble fiber if you cook fruits and vegetables whole (canned or not) and cut them on your plate.

veryone knows what happened to the four lads from Liverpool after they appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show on Feb. 9, 1964, in front of a live TV audience of 74 million. But the three days leading up to the historic broadcast were filled with screaming teenagers, cynical American journalists, and genuinely magical moments that changed the Beatles and their fans forever.

Pan Am Flight 101, with the Beatles aboard, touches down, more than 3,000 frantic fans are waiting on the roof of the newly christened John F. Kennedy airport. Michael Harris, the longtime CBS press rep for

the Sullivan show, is on the tarmac to meet the boys. “Two weeks before, I had called every newspaperman I knew in New York and no one had ever heard of them,” Harris recalls. But what is news to the city’s jaded tabloid journalists is no secret to the adolescents, who are prodded by

then talk to the BBC’s Brian Matthew about the trip so far. The conversation inevitably turns to their hair. Matthew: You proved that you don’t wear wigs, I hope. Ringo: Yeah. Matthew: What did you do? Ringo: We took them off. The band spends the rest of the night watching TV and, obsessed with American radio, listening intently to the transistors each of them have constantly pressed to their ears. George, who’s been fighting a cold, gets examined by the hotel’s physician, Dr. Jules Gordon. The diagnosis: strep throat. The doctor puts George’s sister, Louise, in charge of his care.

Filmmakers Albert and David Maysles, commissioned by a British production company to shoot a documentary on the band’s visit, are stunned by the bedlam at the airport. “I’d never seen anything like it,” Albert says. “Young women were just crazed.” 2:00 p.m. The mop-topped heartthrobs use captivating wit and charm to tame a truly unruly mob—the New York press. Reporter: What about all this talk that you represent some kind of social rebellion? John: It’s a dirty lie. It’s a dirty lie. Reporter: What do you think of Beethoven? Ringo: Great, especially his poems. With their first great performance behind them, the boys and their entourage are whisked in four Cadillac limousines to Manhattan’s swank Plaza hotel. The Maysles brothers tag along. “John was the quietest,” Albert remembers, “but he was thinking all the time.” As the group’s car approaches the hotel, it’s swarmed by girls. In a tone equally amused and alarmed, Ringo blurts out, “Let’s get in, quick!” Evening In their suite on the 12th floor, the Beatles watch their press conference on the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite,

n the spring of 1966, my 28-year-old dad spotted a framed photo in Hills Department Store that he knew would make me swoon. Dad was a working-class guy with a wife and four little kids at home. He viewed any purchase not related to food, health, or shelter as a luxury, but he saw in that photo the chance to prove he understood the heart of his 8-year-old girl. That night, he walked into the house and, without a word (of course), handed over my very own dresser-top photo of Paul, Ringo, John, and George. Ringo’s sunglasses reflect a handful of greeters—none of whom, I’m still happy to report, appear to be girls. George looks ready to leap. Into my arms, I tell myself, even now. Today the photo is faded and the frame separating at the corner seams. No matter. It represents the one thing my father and I had in common until the day he died: We loved the Beatles. They brought out the best in both of us. My father was only 20 when I

was born. For years, his music was my music. The first record he gave me was a Beatles 45 and together we’d sing along. I was in first grade when the band debuted on the Sullivan show. Mom said it was too late for me to watch, but she deferred to Dad, who thought there was no other place for his daughter to be. By 28, Dad was beholden to a job in a plant that would claim more than three decades of his life. To him, the Beatles were proof of the joy that comes when you don’t give a hoot what your elders think. To this day, I look at the Beatles photo and see my dad’s version of happiness. When I close my eyes, I can almost hear him sing.

emember the feeling you had the first time you got into a hot tub? The warm water, the energizing bubbles and the gentle hydrotherapy of the jets left you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Aches and pains seemed to fade away, and the bubbling sound of the water helped put you in a carefree and contented mood. The first time I ever got in a hot tub at a resort, I said to myself “One of these days I’m going to have one of these in my home– so I can experience this whenever I want.” Now that I’m older, I’d still like to have the pain relief and relaxation, but I have to be careful about slipping and falling in the bathroom. That’s why I was thrilled to find out that Jacuzzi, Inc. had combined the safety of a walk-in bath with the benefits of a hot tub. Now that I have one in my home I can have that luxurious resort experience… whenever I want.

band leaves the Plaza for another rehearsal, with fans again in hot pursuit. Irene Katz and her friends, desperate for a close-up glimpse of their idols, actually catch up with the limo: “Suddenly there they were. Ringo was sitting in the middle looking absolutely terrified because girls had started banging on the windows. Then the light changed and they were gone.” 2:30 p.m. At the dress rehearsal and during a taped performance to air on Feb. 23, every time someone mentions “the Beatles,” the girls in the 728-seat theater let out ear-splitting screams. Sullivan makes a deal with the crowd: They can scream during the Beatles performance if they agree to be quiet during the other acts (including the cast of Oliver! and an impressionist). He threatens to call a barber if they break their promise. Alice Kestin, then 14, is in the audience: “We were so close to the stage, it was so intimate, like being in a bubble. My best friend and I would call out to Paul. He would look up and wave and blow a kiss. I kept jumping up and down.” 8:00 p.m. When the live show continued on page 17

begins, this time before a new audience, the Beatles open with “All My Loving.” Then Paul takes the spotlight on “Till There Was You.” One by one, each Beatle is shown on the TV screen. A note under John’s name reads: “Sorry girls, he’s married.” Next comes “She Loves You.” The loudest screams ring out each time John, Paul, and George shake their heads and sing “Woo.” The show’s musical director, Ray Bloch, doesn’t get it. “The only thing different is the hair, as far as I can see,” he said. “I give them a year.” AFter the Show The group heads for the Playboy Club, where Paul is impressed by the girls in bunny suits. Then it’s on to the Peppermint Lounge, where they are spoofed by a novelty act. “It wasn’t really much like us,” Ringo jokes. “Their music was too good.” The real Beatles leave their fans aching for more: “When I got home I could barely make it up the stairs because I’d pulled the muscles in my thighs,” says Alice Kestin, now 64. “All I remember was an afterglow. The whole experience was a mix of innocence and joyfulness.” Adapted from the book The Beatles are Coming! by Bruce Spizer, available on his website, beatle.net february 9, 2014 | 17

The Love Connection

A relationship columnist says even in our overexposed online dating world, we still count on fate when looking for a mate By Daniel Jones

n this era of digital matchmaking, when the laptop replaces just about everything else as the best way to drum up a date, you’d think our belief in romantic notions like fate and destiny would fade. Yet through my job as editor of Modern Love, a New York Times column about 21st-century dating and mating, I’ve discovered the opposite to be true: Many of us place more importance on fate than ever before—and we’ll cling to whatever scraps of magic we can to convince ourselves that the person we’re falling for is part of a master plan written in the stars. Adapted from Daniel Jones’s new book, Love Illuminated: Exploring Life’s Most Mystifying Subject (with the Help of 50,000 Strangers)

Why? It seems dating today has left a lot of us overwhelmed by too much choice and wary from going out with so many strangers. Even if we don’t frown upon online dating as we once did, the idea of it still can leave us feeling scared and distrustful. So relationin trying to forge a new relation ship with yet another stranger, we look for validation from beyond. What’s more, we want our “how we met” story to involve an relyelement of serendipity, and rely algoing on a dating website’s algo rithms to supply grinning photos of “compatible” candidates feels like the opposite of serendipity. No wonder we keep looking for signs to help point the way. My in-box is filled with stories of people seeking such signals. One woman seized upon the fact that a man who emailed her out of the blue shared her rather unusual last name, and before they met or even spoke she had convinced herself their relationship was fate. (It wasn’t; it ended as soon as they realized that, other than their last names, they had nothing in common.) A 30-something gay man fell for a guy during a speed-dating session but was embarrassed about how they found each other, with numbers pinned to their

chests. Eventually, though, he came across an incredible coincidence: Their mothers, who had never lived in the same city, had shared the same best friend at different times. That’s it! he thought. We’re meant to be! (They weren’t. A few months later, they said their goodbyes.) A young woman from a remote town in western Canada called Medicine Hat went all the way to Thailand in search of adventure and self-discovery, but mostly what she discovered there was loneliness. She missed her hometown. Eager to find love, she signed up for a Thai online dating service for expats. A year later, a man contacted her via the site and they started instantmessaging. Where was he from? she asked. A small town in western Canada she’d probably never heard of, he said, called Medicine Hat. She almost choked on her coffee. It had to be fate! (And it was! They married.) My final and favorite story: Once upon a time, a woman from Wisconsin pulled a fortune from a cookie that read, “A bald, bearded man will change your life.” Lo and behold, she did meet a bald man with a beard, and he changed her life by asking her to marry him. They had one son, then another. Not long ago they

celebrated their 50th anniversary. Except he wasn’t bald when they met, and he didn’t have a beard. He was a young man with thick hair and scrubbed cheeks. In truth, she didn’t stumble upon that fortune until decades later, but by then he had become bald and bearded, which is why she found the fortune so charming, despite its chronological inaccuracy. She saw it as yet another sign they were meant to meet way back when. This is what I call retroactive destiny: If we don’t start with magic, we can find ways of manufacturing it later. But in this case, I can vouch for fate’s role in their pairing. The woman who found the fortune is my mom. The bald, unshaven man is my dad. If they hadn’t met, I wouldn’t exist. And if I didn’t exist, neither would this article. You see? The only story that makes sense is the one in which my mom met my dad. As if, you know, it was written in the stars. Take that, laptop.
