Q: What can you tell me

about the theme song for

Southland? —Virginia Miller,

Grantville, Pa.

A: The song is “Canção do Mar” by Dulce Pontes. “It’s evocative and mysteri-ous,” says Chris Chulack, one of the TNT series’ executive producers. “We

felt that it fi ts well with the old Los Angeles imag-ery we use in the main titles and represents the ‘Past is prologue’ theme we’re trying to express.”

Q: After all these years,

where does Jackie Collins

get inspiration for her

stories? —H. Burns,

Philadelphia

A: “I live in Hollywood, so inspiration is every-where!” says the British-born Collins, 73, who has written 28 novels. “Los Angeles is full of crazy characters.” Despite the abundance of story lines right outside her door, Collins set her latest book, Goddess of Vengeance (out Sept. 13), in Las Vegas. “I like creating rags-to-riches stories,” the author adds. “It’s the great American dream.”

WALTER SCOTT ASKS …

Harry Connick Jr.The 43-year-old crooner stars in the family

� lm Dolphin Tale, in theaters Sept. 23.

What was it like costarring with a

dolphin? It was effortless. They have a different kind of intelligence, and with their echolocation, they can basically see through things, which is pretty neat.As a New Orleans native, how do

you feel the city is doing six years

after Katrina? It’s starting to think about progress. Katrina shed a lot of light on its problems, but New Orleans is such a charismatic, diverse place that it’s no surprise the city’s experiencing a resurgence.You and your wife, Jill Goodacre, have

been together for over two decades.

What’s your secret? It helps to marry your best friend, and I was fortunate to do that.

Q: Last month, it was

announced that Jerry

Lewis wouldn’t be hosting

the MDA telethon. What

is the show doing instead?

—G. Brownell, Michigan

A: Instead of its tradi-tional 21-hour running time, tonight’s Muscular Dystrophy Association Labor Day Telethon will be kept to a crisp six hours. Approximately 160 television stations will air the special from 6 p.m. to midnight (check your local listings). Look for some familiar faces, including cohosts Nancy O’Dell, Jann Carl, Alison Sweeney, and Nigel Lythgoe, as well as guests Celine Dion, Lady Ante-bellum, and many more.

Q: I loved Jon Hamm in

Bridesmaids and on Satur-

day Night Live. He seems

to be doing more comedy

these days. Why?

—Martha M., Los Angeles

A: The Mad Men star chalks up his recent slate of humorous characters to a simple case of opportunity knocking. “I’m not Tom Cruise or one of those other dudes who get to pick their deals,” Hamm, 40, explains. “If people ask me [to do something] and they’re people I like to work with, I say yes.” The comic roles also let him stretch different muscles from the ones he uses to play the intense Don Draper. “It’s nice to goof around on set and not be superserious all the time,” he adds. His next comedy, Friends With Kids—directed by his longtime partner, Jennifer Westfeldt—premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

“I swam my brains out.”

—Mark Spitz, who won his seventh gold medal— a record for a single Olympics—on Sept. 4, in Munich. (The next day, a terrorist attack took the lives of 12 people, in a massa-cre that came to defi ne the games.) Spitz’s feat remained unsurpassed until 2008, when U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps claimed eight golds in Beijing. Test your Olympics knowledge at Parade.com/quiz.

INTELLIGENCE

oday, while most of us celebrate

Labor Day weekend with hot dogs and sunscreen, Daniel Lehmkuhl, 22, and 16 other young American men and women

will be training for the 2011 WorldSkills Competi-tion in London—the Olympics of skilled labor. At a time of sky-high unemployment rates, the competition holds a promise for future jobs: Skilled professions offer some of the best oppor-tunities in the country, accord-ing to Thomas Holdsworth of

SkillsUSA, the group that fi elds the national team. “With so many

baby boomers retiring, there’s never been a better time to

be young and skilled in America,” he said. “These men and women will fi nd

jobs—without question. But right now, they are working

hard to make us proud in Lon-don.” Starting Oct. 5, SkillsUSA’s

World Team will square off against 55 other national teams in areas ranging from welding to cooking to IT networking. Lehm-kuhl, who has earned several national medals, will compete in automotive technology—a category in which the U.S. has never won gold. “This is a tremendous privilege,” he says. “It’s a chance to see how I stack up against the greatest autoworkers in the world.” Vince Wright, a 21-year-old from Sec-tion, Ala., will test his talent for bricklaying. Wright

worked his way through tech-nical school after a teacher in-spired him to pursue masonry. “After my first competition, I was hooked on becoming the world’s best bricklayer,” he says. Employers, take note!

—Brad Dunn

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

ROOT FOR TEAM USATo learn more about

the competition, meet the rest of the team, and send a message of encouragement, go to Parade.com/skills.

Bricklaying Vince Wright will have 21 hours to build four brick structures from

a set of plans. He’ll be judged on height and how closely he follows the instructions.

CookingRachel Koppelman, a 20-year-old from Columbia, Mo., will prepare

two four-course meals that must incorporate specifi c styles and ingredients.

Automotive tech Daniel Lehmkuhl, from San Luis Obispo, Calif.,

will dismantle or repair six vehicle systems with faulty parts using hand tools only.

Graphic design Victoria Brown, a 20-year-old from Las

Vegas, will design a logo, an advertisement, and packag-ing for a fi ctional product.

AUBURN, N.H.

PLUMBING CONTRACTOR $104,000

“The challenge with plumbing is keeping people happy. We’re in 40 homes a day, seven days a week.

Some people joke with you and feed you. Others get mad, like it’s your

fault they have plumbing problems.”

MATTHEW RENNER, 51

RIFLE, COLO.

BLACKSMITH $30,000

“I’m all about custom ironwork, from railings to gates. I use traditional

tools—I have a 1902 anvil and a 1929 power hammer. The work may look delicate, but it requires a lot of heavy

lifting, hammering, and torching.”

Why are the ice cubes from my

freezer always cloudy, no mat-

ter what kind of water I use?

The ones in store-bought bags

are so clear. —A. Dubois, Fair Oaks

Ranch, Tex.

Most of the cloudiness comes from tiny air bubbles formed even in pure, crystal clear water when it’s poured into the tray. (Fridge automatic ice makers usually use tap water, which contains dissolved air and various impurities, leading to still cloudier cubes.) Because home freezers are designed to chill rapidly, the cubes freeze from the outside in, trapping the bubbles and pushing them closer and closer to the center. That’s why homemade cubes look murkiest in the middle yet may be nearly transparent at the edges.

StayHealthy

Waste NotAn estimated 40 percent of the food grown and produced in the U.S. ends up getting tossed. We asked Jonathan Bloom, author of American Wasteland:

How America Throws Away Nearly Half of Its Food (just released in paperback), for tips on keeping groceries out of the garbage—and saving a few bucks at the supermarket while you’re at it.

1 Avoid impulse buys. They often add up to a bunch of wilted greens in

your veggie drawer or moldy bagels in your pantry. Each week, plan out

your family’s meals; then make a detailed shopping list and stick to it.

2 Stay organized. Keeping your kitchen in order may prevent items from

hiding out in the back of the fridge or cupboard. Always check your

inventory before heading to the store; no one needs two mostly full jars

of capers or curry paste.

3Remember: Less is more. Don’t

serve restaurant-size portions to

friends and family, forcing them

to either overeat or scrape the remnants

into the trash. Encourage diners to

go for seconds if they’re still hungry.

4Sneak in produce. If yours is head-

ing south before you’ve had a

chance to use it, take a page

from parenting experts: Puree veg-

etables to put in sauces or soups,

and blend overripe fruit into

smoothies or yogurt.

5Trust your senses.

Expiration dates refer to

taste and texture, not

whether the food’s safe to con-

sume. If you’re not sure you’ve

tasted sour milk … you haven’t.

WHAT’S HEALTHIER?

TAKING A CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT OR

DRINKING A GLASS OF MILK?

ANSWER: Reach for the dairy. “Not only is milk rich in calcium, it also contains other vitamins and minerals that promote bone health,” says registered dietitian Roberta Anding. “Aim for three servings a day (other good sources include yogurt and forti� ed orange juice) to meet your daily allowance (1,000 to 1,200 milligrams).” If you don’t like—or can’t have—dairy, a supplement can help � ll the void.

In the spring of 1964, less

than six months after the assas-sination of President John F. Kennedy, historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. began conducting more than eight hours of inter-views with Kennedy’s widow, Jacqueline. At her request, the

transcripts and tapes were sealed from the public. Now her daughter, Caroline, is releas-ing the interviews in a new book, Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy, to be published on Sept. 14.

On a hot summer morning in Boston, Caro-line Kennedy sat down to talk to PARADE about the conversations, which reveal a different side to the glamorous woman the world calls Jackie O but whom Caroline still calls “Mummy.” Inside the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, Caroline, 53, wearing a beige sum-mer coat, an off-white blouse, and a light beige skirt, displayed the elegance of her mother and the charm of her father, whose bust stood nearby.

This daughter of Camelot has managed to live a quietly public life on Manhattan’s Upper East Side with her husband, Edwin Schloss-berg, and their three children (Rose, 23; Tati-ana, 21; and John, 18), whom she credits with inspiring her to endorse Barack Obama in 2008. Save for a brief but awkward foray into politics—she expressed interest in Hillary Clinton’s vacated New York Senate seat in 2009 but then withdrew her name from consideration—she has carried her family’s legacy into the 21st century with grace and fortitude. In fact, as Caroline talks about her father, her brother, and her hopes for her own children, she exhibits the qualities she most admires in her mother: a sense of strength, a passion for reading, and the will to move for-ward despite the pain that has come her way.

PARADE: How did the Schlesinger interviews with

your mother happen in the fi rst place?

CAROLINE KENNEDY: In 1964, my mother, Uncle Bobby and Uncle Teddy, and others were looking for ways to create a living memorial to my father and inspire a new generation to go into public service and

Iam standing in the past and

looking up to watch our country’s hopes soar again. It’s late July, and I’m in lower Manhattan with Chris Ward, the Port Authority executive overseeing the rebuild-ing efforts at ground zero. We’ve paused in front of the beautiful granite reflecting

pools that have been constructed in the footprints of the original twin towers. Surrounded by bronze panels inscribed with the names of the people who died there on Sept. 11, 2001, the pools are the focal point of the memo-rial that will open next week on the 10th anniversary.

A cacophony of construction noise from the nearby site of One World Trade Center (1 WTC) breaks into our conversation. Seventy feet from us, workers weld, cut, and adjust the skyscraper’s rapidly ascending frame. A steel beam as long as a semi dangles from a giant crane.

These two very different structures—the pensive refl ecting pools and the majestic 1 WTC—manage to capture the complex messages the ground zero site con-veys. The memorial offers a quiet remembrance of the painful place where the nation’s heart was broken; the skyscraper embodies our vitality and our determination not to let tragedy defi ne who we are.

It is a spectacular response to the question so many have asked: Why has it taken so long to rebuild? But who ever said creating an American landmark was easy? The construction of the Brooklyn Bridge carried on despite the death of the fi rst designer and the paralysis of the second. The Washington Monument took 36 years to complete because of politics, debt, and the onset of the Civil War. It’s doubtful, though, that any other project has been so fraught with emo-tion for so many people, or been so longed for, as the rebirth of lower Manhattan.

As early as the evening of Sept. 11, 2001, then Mayor Rudy Giuliani vowed, “We will rebuild and be stronger than ever,” and fellow politicians, Wall Street CEOs, real estate developers, New York residents, and bereaved family members agreed. Then things got complicated. Everyone had a dif-ferent idea of what should occupy ground zero—some 9/11 families (and Giuliani) thought the area should contain only a memorial; business leaders wanted offi ce space that would replace the 10 million square feet lost in the

attacks; and Michael Bloomberg, who took offi ce as New York’s mayor in January 2002, favored a mix of offi ces, shops, and a memorial. To oversee rebuild-ing, New York’s governor at the time, George Pataki,

created the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC), which invited architects to submit designs for the site.

In February 2003, to much fanfare, an LMDC panel picked Daniel Libes-kind’s plan: a memorial with a half-circle of ascending, jagged skyscrapers. The most prominent would be 1,776 feet high, making it the tallest in the U.S.; Pataki dubbed it the Freedom Tower. Many of the reactions were scathing—Donald Trump called it “a monstrosity”; one critic said it was “a sharp stick in the eye.” Battles broke out among the LMDC, developer Larry Silverstein (who held the lease on the site), and the Port Authority (which owned the land); Silverstein brought in his own architect, who altered Libeskind’s proposal.

A FITTING TRIBUTE

Despite the plans being in fl ux, Pataki and Bloomberg were eager to show impatient New Yorkers that progress was being made; they held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Freedom Tower on July 4, 2004. Before the event, Pataki pro-claimed, “America and the world will witness as our plans go from paper to steel.”

But the country saw little steel over the next few years. Disputes between Silverstein and the Port Authority stalled construction, and the cornerstone that had been laid was quietly moved to Long Island.

When chris ward

became the Port Au-thority’s executive

director in May 2008, he found a logjam of 19 public agencies, two developers, 101 contractors, and 33 architects—all involved in rebuilding ground zero. “We had to tear the plans apart and reprioritize,” he says. “I knew one thing: We had to deliver this”—he gestures to the memorial

plaza we’re walking through—“for the 10th anniversary so the nation could have some closure.”

As for the 16-acre site’s other struc-tures—fi ve skyscrap-

ers, a museum, a vehicle security cen-ter, a transportation hub, and an arts center—Ward set realistic schedules for their completion. One challenge: They had to be built atop a 700,000-square-foot underground space (for shops, garages, and equipment), which itself sat upon a rail station. “A subway train runs through this project every six to eight minutes,” Ward says, as does a commuter train.

One major change on Ward’s watch was the renaming of the Free-dom Tower to the apolitical One World Trade Center in 2009. By this time, the design had also changed drastically, into the structure I now see rising. Upon its completion, scheduled for late 2013, it is expected to be the costliest skyscraper in U.S. history. The $3.2 billion building will have a lobby with 50-foot-high ceilings; 104 stories (69 devoted to offi ce space—the equivalent of 45 football fi elds—whose tenants will include PARADE’s sister company, the magazine pub-lisher Condé Nast); and an enclosed observation deck (five of North America’s fastest elevators will whisk tourists there in a breathless 55 sec-onds), topped by a spire that brings the total height to the symbolic 1,776 feet. Thirteen-foot-long pan-els of superthick tempered glass will make up the upper facade.

This glittering skin will cover what’s designed to be the nation’s most secure building; lessons from 9/11 and the 1993 bombing have been applied. As we walk toward the new World Trade Center, Ward ex-plains that to safeguard against explo-sive devices, the fi rst 65 vertical feet—or three floors—of 1 WTC consist of a “blast wall” made of a supertough, three-foot-thick blend of concrete. Since fi re played such a promi-nent role in the towers’

collapse, 1 WTC’s core will contain two-to-six-foot-thick walls of the spe-cial concrete—it’s virtually fi reproof—to shield the building’s vital parts: communications systems, ventilation systems with fi lters to counter a chem-ical or bioweapon attack, sprinklers, water pipes, elevators, and two sets of extra-wide exit stairs—one for occu-pants and one for rescue personnel.

Building the tower has involved what project director Lynda Tollner calls “a constant dance between concrete and steel.” And manpower: At any one time, 1,200 workers are busy on-site.

Together, ward and i

board elevators that take us to the 64th fl oor. When the

doors open, all I can do is gape. In nearly every direction is a perfect, un-impeded view of New York. Since the fl oors will be column-free, future visi-tors will enjoy the same perspective. I want to take photos with my phone and never stop; an ironworker is doing just that. “When the construction guys take pictures,” Ward laughs, “you know you’re building something amazing.”

He wanders off. When he motions me over, I see he’s on a small platform whose only protection from the ele-ments is a bit of orange netting. Then I realize why: His view encompasses the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Verrazano Bridge, New Jersey, Brook-lyn, and the entirety of the Upper Bay, where the Hudson meets the Atlantic and America meets the world.

“Stunning,” he exclaims. Then he grips the railing with both hands and

says, “Lucky you.” I can’t tell whether

Ward is talking to himself, to me, or to a nation that so needs this glorious new landmark to celebrate. Regard-less, he’s right.

politics to make the world better, as he did. They also wanted to preserve the record of his admin-istration. The technique of oral history was fairly new then, but the idea was to capture people’s recollections while they were still fresh. Over 1,000 people were interviewed, and Mummy decided she should be a part of it. She chose Arthur Schlesinger because she wanted to do it with somebody who shared her sense of history. Did you know about the interviews?

My brother, John [who died in 1999], and I knew that she had done them and that she wanted them put aside for 50 years. After my mother left Washington, she gave no interviews about my father or their time in the White House, so this is a unique historical document. It’s a wonderful portrait of both my parents. The interviews were done between March and June ’64, when we were in Georgetown. Soon after, Mummy decided to move to New York.Why did she leave D.C.? Did she feel unsafe there?

We moved because she loved New York, and she felt she could start a new life there. Washington is all about the president, and I think she believed

engagement with literature, history, plays, and poetry. They gave her strength, even in the diffi -cult times. Because she knew about ancient Greece and read the plays written back then, she knew about suffering and about perseverance. Did she encourage you and John to read?

Yes. She made it fun, and she was always quoting things. When we’d play charades, everybody wanted Mummy on their team because she knew these quotes no one else knew. She would throw in Walter Raleigh, Yeats, and Bible verses, and she’d win every time! She mostly didn’t play, but when she did she was really a star.Did your parents read to you as a child?

My mom did when I was younger. I don’t remember my father reading to me, but I remember him telling me bedtime stories. I got to pick what was in them, and then he’d make them up. Tell me more.

They were adventure stories. I had two ponies in them—one was black with a white star and one was white with a black star, and they were called White Star and Black Star. I could pick who rode the other one. Mostly I picked my cousin Stevie. [Now a business executive, Stephen Kennedy Smith Jr. is the son of Jean Kennedy Smith, the sister of John F. Kennedy, and the late Stephen Smith.] Were you always the heroine?

Of course. [laughs] Well, would you want to go to bed thinking that Stevie Smith had triumphed over you? No! My father was spectacular at making up stories. And he used to tell me about a purple shark.A purple shark?

Yes, he said there was a purple shark that used to follow the Honey Fitz [the small presidential

yacht]. It liked to eat socks. My father would make peo-ple throw their socks over-board, and they’d disappear. He’d say, “See? See? Did you see the purple shark? He ate the socks!” And I’d go [gasps like a child], “I don’t really see him. Oh, oh, I think I see him! Look, the socks are gone, so it must have been the shark that ate the socks!” Those stories were fantastic.

it would make her sad to stay. She thought John and I could grow up in a freer environment in New York. People in New York had taken her, John, and me into their hearts— respecting her privacy as well as embracing her. She really thrived on the city’s intellectual environment, and New York was the place she felt the freest and was home—she was born in Southampton, Long Island, and spent summers there and winters in the city. Since 2002, you’ve been the vice chair

of the Fund for Public Schools, which

has raised more than $285 million for

education in New York City. Did this

interest come from your mother?

Education was the most important value in our home when I was growing up. People don’t always realize that my parents shared a sense of intellectual curiosity and a love of reading and of history. One of my favorite parts in the new book is where my mother talks about my father and how he used

to read all the time, even when you wouldn’t think a person could read. He’d read when he was getting dressed; he’d read when he was walking. [laughs] If there was something she was reading and found interesting, he would take it right out of her hand and read the whole book.And your mother?

She was always reading! That’s the image I have when I think of her. In New York, she’d be reading when I came home from school or in the eve-nings. In the summer, we’d swim in the mornings, and in the afternoons she’d read on the porch. She always said that reading the memoirs of Versailles [the French royal palace, which was the center of political power from 1682 to 1789] was the best prepa-ration she had for the White House, because the way peo-ple behaved at court was like how they did around the president. She had a deep

What was your reaction when

you fi rst read the transcripts

of your mother’s interviews?

I read them shortly after she died. I remember at the time I had the sense she was speak-ing to me again. [pauses] I could hear her saying what I was reading. What affected you the most?

I think it was really the way that Mummy felt about my father and the kind of rela-tionship they had. Also, it just brought me back to my childhood. It was more the sadness at the time and then the courage it took her to do these interviews. Her humor, intelligence, and observational powers came through to me in a way I don’t think other people have ever experienced. I know my mother so well, so it’s hard for me to remember that people have a certain image of her, but they don’t really know her personality. I think the transcripts give a good portrayal of her. The way she looked at the world comes through very vividly, how she appreciated historical fi gures and felt that what made them human was really what made them more interesting. Your mother faced terrible tragedy and bore

it with grace. How was she able to do this?

It’s amazing to remember how young she was—she was just 34. I think a lot of her courage, strength, and dignity came from within. She had a very strong moral code, self-discipline, and commitment to me and John and to my father’s memory that made her able to continue. I think my mother was not as overtly or devoutly religious as my grandmother and some other relatives were. But she had a very deep inner spiri-tuality that allowed her to rebuild her life. It ’s extraordinary that she had such a strong sense of self and such a commit-ment to the future and such a strong cre-ative sense that she could build new worlds for herself and for us out of the total dev-astation in her life. And then once John and I were grown up, she went back to work as an editor. She really appreciated

the value of work. She loved the life she had with my father and thought that was her most rewarding time, but she had a real respect for work and the intellectual engagement it offered her. You’ve edited three poetry

anthologies; the fi rst was The

Best-Loved Poems of Jacque-

line Kennedy Onassis. Where

did this interest come from?

After my mother died, so many people came up and

asked me about her and her sense of fashion—you know, the Jackie O image. I felt like they were missing who she really was, so I did this book of poetry, and peo-ple really responded to it. Poetry used to be something that got passed down in fami-lies. My grandmother and Teddy were always reciting “Paul Revere’s Ride.”What lessons did you take from your own

upbringing about how to raise kids?

John and I were lucky because our mother was a strong woman with high expectations and a strong sense of values. She encouraged us to pursue things we were interested in and not think about what other people wanted us to do. Those were good lessons. She was also into character building and depriving us of things we wanted. [laughs] “You can’t have that” and “Who do you think you are?” and “I think I’m going to send you off on a wilderness expedition now!” [laughs] Of course, John and I com-plained constantly.Given your mother’s fame and the intense

interest in you and John, what enabled the two

of you to have a pretty normal life?

We have this incredible extended family. We were surrounded by people who loved us and cared about us and who understood. My cousins and I—we all shared so much. I felt a wonderful sense of support, and we had tremendous pride in our parents and wanted to do well and live up to what they would’ve wanted. What do you wish for your children?

I hope that they’ll fi nd people that they love, and work that they fi nd compelling,

and that they’re able to make the world around them better for everyone living in it.When you look at your children,

do you ever see your parents

in them?

They look a little bit like them. My son in particular is very in-terested in his grandfather, and he loved Teddy. Teddy made a huge effort over them, and I think it gave them a wonderful sense of connection with their grandparents. I can’t wait to see who my children will become. That’s what’s really exciting. Are there particular moments,

places, or things that make you

think about your mother and

your brother?

[in a quiet voice] I live right near where I grew up, so every time I run around the reservoir in Central Park [which is named after Jacqueline Kennedy Onas-sis] or I go to get ice cream where we used to go with Mummy … [pauses] I mean, certainly, she is very present in my life. I think about her and John all the time. I constantly think about what she would have done or how she would have handled something, and the same with John. And so certainly when on the Cape or the Vineyard, which they both loved, they’re with me all the time. Sometimes something specifi c will make me think of them. When I’m waterskiing with my son, it’s exactly what I used to do with John. So it’s a fun thing for me to remember and also to be in the present. I always ask myself what they’d do. I wish they were here so I could tell them what’s happen-ing, because I know it would make them laugh or they’d see it the way I do.

a house for nine years, but I’m a happy renter.

You sang with the Baltimore Opera for

six years. Do you ever do karaoke?

Those bars frighten me on just about every level, but I think I actually sold the fi rst karaoke machine on QVC in 1989. I sang “My Way.” I’m sure the footage still exists.

You’re the 2011 ambassador for

Lee National Denim Day, which

raises money for breast cancer.

What prompted you to get involved?

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer 14 years ago. Everything worked out okay, but it’s a moment I remember like it was yesterday. I think they’ve raised something like $83 million, so I thought, “Why don’t we see if we can’t get it up to $100 million and cure this ridiculous disease once and for all?”

Stripping down to

your undies for the

PSA is one way to get

people’s attention.

I read that research suggests a possible cure could be found in our genes. I thought it would be funny if I misunderstood that and took off my jeans to donate. My mom [above, in the ad with him] was pretty horrifi ed!

What’s the bigger surprise: that

you’re a sex symbol, or that you’re

a hero for the working class?

Honestly, I’m utterly baffl ed by both.

Are you single?

I’ve been with the same woman for about 15 years, so I guess the short answer is no.

What would the title of your

autobiography be?

Paid to Try. On Dirty Jobs I’m an apprentice—I don’t have to be good at anything, I just have to be willing to try pretty much everything. And I am.

Visit DenimDay.com to donate the

cost of a pair of jeans to support EIF’s

Women’s Cancer Programs.

As the host of the Discovery Channel’s Dirty

Jobs (starting a new season in October), Mike

Rowe has installed billboards and inspected sewers, but don’t peg this roving Renaissance man as handy. “I washed out of wood shop class,” the 49-year-old former Eagle Scout admits. “My granddad told me, ‘There are a lot of tool boxes out there. Maybe you should look into getting a different one.’ ” Having found his niche on television, Rowe (who is also Ford’s spokesman) talks house hunting and bad-hair days with Mary Margaret.

PARADE You always wear a

baseball cap. Why?

It’s a great way to say thanks to the people who let us dis-rupt their business for a day, because most of them have a hat with

a logo. Plus, my hair is usually a disas-ter. With a cap on, I don’t have to worry about looking like Bozo the Clown.

How many caps do you have?

Probably 300. When I open the closet door they fall out like fi lthy snowfl akes.

Do you spend most of your time

traveling?

Yes. I’ve had the same tiny apartment in San Francisco for the last 10 years, but I primarily live on the road. We just completed fi lming in our 50th state. That was one of my goals for the show.

When you are home, what’s your

Sunday routine?

I’ll identify the open houses within a mile of where I live and spend a couple of hours looking at real estate I have no intention of buying. I’ve been shopping for
