"I'm not the first person on TV to talk about sex," said Berkowitz, who's been honored by the American Board of Sexologists and the American Society of Sex Educators, Counselors and Teachers. "But there is no other show on TV that talks about sex the way we do it." Watch the show and you're im- mediately struck by how at ease Berkowitz is with the subject.

Howpersonalisit? Well, Berkowitz recently asked one guest: "What's the best sex you ever had?" She answered that it happened in a taxi. And the show's topics? There's erotica for couples, men's sexual fears, women who; love sex, regaining sexual desires, -attitudes about oral sex, sexual fantasies come true, professional sex secrets, and Siskel-and-Ebert-style reviews of adult movies (was that two thumbs Guests have included Ph.D.s in sex counseling, writers of women's erotica, former first daughter Patti Davis, Ivana Trump, the lesbian rock band Fem 2 Fern and adult film actresses Marilyn Chambers and Candida Royale, who now produces videos geared to couples. "Real Personal" avoids shame, embarrassment, taboos and smar-. my sleaze in its discussions. It sue-, ceeds by focusing on openness, sensitivity, communication, trust, spice, spontaneity, excitement and fantasy.

"The show is really about people sharing their experiences," Berko-; witz said. "We think if we're com-, fortable talking on TV about an ex- tremely personal intimate issue," maybe people at home can talk about it, too. We give people good," solid information. And we not only give them permission to speak, them the language to say it in." Now, that's real personal. Elsewhere in television REAL LIFE: You can keep your TV tuned to cable for HBO's "Lifestories: Families in Crisis" series.

The latest half-hour installment, premiering at 9 p.m. Tuesday, tells the story of Eddie Matos, a Hispanic boy growing up in the tough East New York section of Brooklyn who was shot in the back during a drug deal and par-, alyzed at age 17. Matos, now 19, has formed a group called POW- ER, for People Opening the World's Eyes to Reality, which1 warns high school students about the dangers of drugs and guns. "POWER: The Eddie Matos Story'V will be repeated Aug. 14, 19 23.

By Robert Dvorchak Associated Press national writer NEW YORK WARNING: This column deals with intimate adult issues. Its frank and open exchange about human sexuality may not be suitable for everyone. Reader discretion is advised. A similar precaution precedes the nightly airing of CNBC's "Real Personal," a live, call-in talk show that bills itself as TV's only truly honest, mature, nonjudgmental program about gasp! sex. OK, cut out the titters.

Don't ex- Eect anything perverse. Keep the lushing to a minimum. And try to get comfortable with an intimate topic that so many people are un-confortablewith. "People feel so isolated when it comes to sex. They don't know where to get answers.

We provide them," said host Bob Berkowitz, a veteran TV journalist who has worked for ABC, NBC and CNN. "TV talks about everything else. Why not talk about our sexuality? Why pretend it doesn't exist?" Berkowitz said. "Sex is part of our lives, like family, friendships, work and religion. It's how we all got here.

We weren't faxed." True enough. But some think the cable show is, well, too personal. About one letter-writer in a hundred will say it's immoral or terrible, Berkowitz said. And some advertisers, those people who pay the bills, think the show is too racy and risque. Birds do it, bees do it, but that doesn't mean people on TV should do it.

"Mainstream sponsors stay away from us. It's the one major frustration we've had in doing this show," Berkowitz said. "Big-time sponsors have ruled sex off the board. They're in effect saying you can't talk about sex on TV. It's sad." Since its first airing in March 1992, "Real Personal" has evolved into its current format.

It began as a show about couples and relationships, but the greatest audience response followed shows that talked about sexual topics -go figure so Berkowitz sharpened the focus. Now, it's the hottest nighttime show on CNBC, which is available to 52 million Americans as part of their basic cable package. A half-million cable viewers tune in each night at 10 p.m. CDT, including college kids at dorm parties and Watches of couples in the heartland.

Elsewhere 38-Lamb Chop's Attic Theater winds up its 1994 season in a blaze of excitement, technical brilliance and an audience-pleasing reading of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Evita." The awaf d-winning musical opened Friday evening at Lawrence University's Stansbury Theater and plays through Aug. 21. One of the 20th century's most dramatic, meteoric and tragic figures, Eva Peron, first mistress and then wife of Argentinian dictator Juan Peron, is the center of this now classic production. It's a tale told all in song, without spoken lines in the Webber tradition of never doing anything the standard Broadway way. It's gripping, curtain up to final dimming of the lights.

There isn't anybody with a playbill tucked away in a drawer who doesn't feel a squiggle of emotion as Evita sings "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina," from her balcony over her adoring crowd. Timothy Troy's direction provides a memorable experience for theater-goers. The show is swiftly paced but has a start-to-finish control; it is intensely focused, is visually stylized. The unusual and striking setting, designed by Richmond Frielund, is enhanced by Roy Hoglund-designed lighting that is as character-delineating as it is ef-ective in underscoring time and locale changes. Frielund's much touted set glimmers with silvery art deco-ish structures; swirling stairways and high-up frames for rear-projected blow-ups of half a century and more old newspaper news shots.

In the title role of Eva Peron, who become "Santa Evaa" to worshipful Argentinians, is Lawrence University's Gina Carleton, a performance and theater major. She shines, particularly in the final scenes. She catches the essential tragedy inherent in this young woman (she died at 33) who has power and searing ambition. Carle-ton, with a smooth and virtually expressionless face in some scenes, projects that ebbing strength and sense of doom with grace and control. Early on in the first act, body mikes tended to obscure here diction somewhat, but after intermission the apparent mechanical problem was corrected and her complex lyrics were more easily understood.

The show belongs to Eva, of course, but Tod Galloway as Che Guevar, the revolutionary, turns in a stunning performance. In his inevitable and defining red beret, he functions as narrator, as commentator on the political, national and personal tragedies and triumphs that swirled around him. It is what must be almost a righten-ingly complex role to undertake. Galloway's vocal range is just plain astonishing, and he's in control of every note and nuance. His absorption in the role is textbook-right.

As Peron, the dictator whose meteoric career swings from his rise to power over the other military leaders to ultimate power to exile, Larry Dahlke's character is as vividly drawn. Dahlke, too, has a stage presence which rivets attention; his "Dice Are Rolling" number with Eva stands out, as does the Che-Evi-ta stately and stylized "Waltz for Eva and Che." Patrick Konkle is showcased in his caricatured "On This Night of a Thousand Stars" number; Michelle Wertsch appears effectively as Per-on's earlier mistress, displaced in a sharply incised scene by the ambitious and scheming Eva. Shaun Graff plays the young Che. One doubts that anybody had more fun preparing the show than costume designer Natalie Leavenworth. Eva's almost legendary strapless bouffant white ball gown, the glitter and the long white bracelet-studded opera gloves are period-right, So are the mourning black 1950s dresses worn by women in the ensemble.

Amy Locke's choreography and dance direction are shown off to advantage in ensemble scene after scene. Music director Jay E. Thomas and his 11 -piece orchestra reflected a nice mastery of the Webber music, undeniably as difficult as it is mood-inducing.
