He’s not making his popular children’s science show anymore, but Bill Nye the Science Guy is still making a public impact by going after pseudoscience and science denial. He’s railed against the idea of teaching creationism in public schools, and he’s come to the defense of climate science and vaccines.

New U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy is known in Japan as a glamorous appointment who carries political clout, but her new role is also likely to highlight the advocacy and nonprofit work for which she is prominent in her home country.
What do you wish for your children?
I hope that they’ll find people that they love, and work that they find compelling, and that they’re able to make the world around them better for everyone living in it.

ENTERTAINMENT
Jimi Hendrix 1942
“Jimi was at his best when the fame never got in the way of the music,” says Etchingham, “and at his worst when the fame took over, when people who hardly knew him suddenly became his best friends.” “He had this thing,” says Altham, “of not being able to say no to people – and this became a problem.”

*Say “no” to people today. Tell them you’re going home to listen to Jimi.
FOOD
Jaleel White 1976 – chocolate souffle and a glass of wine

White credits his role as Steve Urkel for developing life skills that helped him transition into an adult actor. “I learned to be on time because otherwise you could miss a major opportunity,” the actor says. “Also, it’s important to live a balanced life, stay healthy, and not waste your money on things like $8 lattes. I am so wildly different from the character that I’ve played, but the role taught me to take everything in stride.”

Do you have a guilty pleasure food?
JW: Soufflés in the middle of the night … I will get in my car and get a chocolate soufflé at midnight, and a glass of wine, and remind myself that most of my troubles are just in my mind.

Wine Pairing Suggestion:
This chocolate souffle pairs perfectly with our Handcraft Petite Sirah – a wonderful, fruit-forward wine where you will taste jam from beginning to end.
