Dvett - the next Abe Lincoln? JUST THE BEGINNING
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Julia Roberts' new husband, Lyle Lovett, reminds

"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."

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.
