JUST THE BEGINNING The Associated Press NEW YORK — Julia Roberts' new husband, Lyle Lovett, reminds ' eof her childhood fantasy man: Abraham Lincoln. "Stoic, regal, gentle ... that could be Lyle," she said. Roberts' first interview in two years is in the October issue of Vanity u.She appears on the cover wearing a revealing dress of black lace dstrategically placed knit fabric. Roberts recalled visiting Washington when she was 7 and "had an Srmous crush on President Lincoln. ... That face is a great face." She married Lovett on June 27 after a whirlwind romance. “We had only taken flight over the last little while," she said when W how long she had known Lovett. "We were both giddy and mted to get together and get married." Roberts is filming "Pelican Brief" with Denzel Washington. dan visits amusement park The Associated Press •AIRFIELD, Calif. - Michael in played miniature golf and Itogames during a holiday vis- jan amusement park with his >f,two children and friends, die basketball superstar also tafew hoops, took a turn in a lug cage and rode a train day at the Scandia Family ■Center. He and his entourage left in a limousine after several hours. The group turned some heads at the park about 40 miles north east of San Francisco. "It's hard not to notice some one like that, but people probably thought, 'Nah, it can't be him' and just walked away," said Mike Mc Cormack, a maintenance manager who escorted Jordan's party throughout the park.

"Out in the real world," added Rep. Lynn Schenk, D-Calif., "we took care of a lot of these basic issues between men and women years ago. But this place has been so insulated, the shock waves of the '70s and '80s haven't quite "Out in the real world we took care of a lot of these basic is sues between men and women years ago." - Rep. Lynn Schenk, D-Calif made it through the walls." Evidence that there's a different attitude to ward women in Congress can be indirect. Most of the women members have stories about being called "honey" or "little lady." They write that off as mostly a "generation gap," innocent talk from men who grew up in a different time. But some women also wonder if there aren't some underlying, paternalistic attitudes at play in the way they are treated in committee and on the floor. The most glaring case, in their eyes, hap pened during the floor battle on the Hyde amendment, which bans Medicaid abortions for poor women. Women who were handling the fight lost a humiliating battle, and attributed it in part to the failure of male colleagues who run the place to help out. Some contend that if it had been a man's fight, other men would have jumped in to assist. During that contentious debate. Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., told freshman Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla., to "shut up" when she ques tioned his effort to help the abortion rights cause. "Would Obey have told a male colleague to shut up?" the women asked themselves. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., voted against President Clinton's oudget bill the first time it came before the House, opposing it as a tax-heavy package that didn't cut enough spending. She took unrelenting flak. The attitudes tend to seep through the rest of the Capitol Hill compound, the women say. For instance, many of the new congressional women still get stopped by police and door men, while male colleagues breeze right past security stops. The presumption, women say, is that females aren't members of Congress. RESEARCH Panic VIP Research is conducting a research study on Panic Disorder.
