"I'm thoroughly expecting to end up in the gutter, to no longer be the star that people think I am right now," Seagal says in the April 17 issue of Parade magazine. "And that's OK. You can take away the money and the fame.

I could walk away from Hollywood tomorrow and not look back." He says what matters most to him are his wife, actress Kelly LeBrock, and his children.

"He just wiped it off and joined the party." Trudeau and Streisand were attending the Elie Wiesel Foundation Humanitarian Award Dinner. The protesters, representing the Armenian Revolutionary Foundation, were demonstrating against the presence of another invitee, Turkish Prime Minister Tansu Ciller. Police arrested two men who were with disorderly conduct.

Didja hear the one about? LOS ANGELES (AP) Didja hear the one about how stand-up comedy has changed? Shelley Berman has, and he isn't laughing. Berman, 68, says kids today don't understand humor the way their predecessors like Lenny Bruce and Mike Nichols did. "Something has happened to stand-up comedy," said Berman. "What has happened, I think, is that the heirs of the tradition of outspoken comedy have adopted the trappings the raunch, the language, the outrageousness without understanding their content."

A little egg on the face NEW YORK (AP) Like most politicians, Pierre Trudeau wound up with a little egg on his face. He didn't let it spoil a good time, though.

Robyn Metro of Oshkosh said she was mailing her returns just before deadline "because I waited until the last second to take them to my accountant.

I just kept putting them off because I'm a professional procrastinator." Tom Nagan, Oshkosh's postmaster, said this April 15 was busier than previous ones. "It's just been a very steady stream of people." Nagan was expecting more traffic than usual because of information from Wisconsin's Department of Revenue and the Internal Revenue Service. He said that throughout the United States, the number of people who were filing their returns electronically was down while the number of people filing returns late was up. Nagan figured this would result locally in an 8 to 12 percent increase in the mail or 25,000 to 35,000 more mail items than are on a typical day. The additional items were not a problem for the post office, Nagan said.

There were more people working at the windows in the office Friday, and many supervisors knew they would be working late, he said. While April 15 is a busy day at the post of- fice, it is not as busy as it is before Christmas J-or on Valentine's Day. "It's just part of the job," Nagan said. The other government office that had plenty business Friday was the Internal Revenue 1 Service office. Scott Irick, manager of the IRS office in iOshkosh, said there were more questions Fri- 2 day than requests for tax forms.

"It's been pretty hectic," he said, adding that the number of people stopping in the of- fice throughout the week was not unusual. 2 Two of three windows in the local office were open for people who had questions, and there were usually five people waiting behind teach window, Irick said. He said no one wait- Choppers FROM PAGE Al over northern Iraq. Perry warned that "if individuals are found to be culpable, we will discipline them, but we will not rush to judgment." Pilots of the two F-15C fighter jets reportedly beamed their "identification friend or foe" system at the helicopters as required; that should have triggered an automatic electronic response identifying the choppers as "friendly," said Gen. John Shalikashvili, chairman of the U.S.

Joint Chiefs of Staff. An official investigative team arrived at the crash site Friday, but Perry cautioned that "it's not going to be clear what went wrong for several weeks yet." The team will study voice transmission tapes from the fighters and the helicopters, as well as electronic records from an AWACS surveillance plane that was nearby. Both fighter pilots made two passes over the helicopters seeking to verify their identities visually, Shalikashvili confirmed. But both pilots mistakenly thought the U.S. Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were Soviet-made Iraqi "Hind" helicopters violating a "no-fly zone" established in northern Iraq after the 1991 Persian Gulf War.

While one would expect business at the local IRS office to be slow next week, that is not quite true. Irick said Monday and Tuesday will likely still be busy because people will be coming to the office to get extension forms. Some will even be asking about the regular forms.
