HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
True love and good hard work are your major themes this year. A setback in March or April lets you know who your friends are. In July, you'll learn you really must play by the rules, and in August a new career opportunity opens up. November is good for travel or for starting college, and you could learn a new role to play in December. There's hard work and plenty of it around next February.
Aries: Today is a 6.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Pay attention not only to what you're doing, but also to what the other people are doing. Your intuition should be excellent right now. You can also trust your education.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
Today could be a challenge. Looks like it starts out with a breakdown in communication. This is not all that unusual, actually. But today, you might be amazed to see how big a gap there is between what was said and what was heard.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
Things that were easy yesterday could go awry today, so don't take anything for granted. Make sure the people helping you understand what they're supposed to do. A breakdown in communication would be the most likely cause of an accident or glitch in the work schedule.
Leo: Today is a 7.
Proceed with caution today. A simple misunderstanding could get blown out of proportion. If there's money involved, it's even more likely to happen. Best not to sign any contracts today for just that reason. You could be thinking the contract says one thing, while the other guy thinks it says something completely
Virgo: Today is a 6.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is a 5.
You're probably about ready to let your hair down. You don't want to go out of character in front of the wrong audience. That's always in poor taste, and today it could cause you to lose everything you've recently gained.
Finish old stuff today, rather than beginning new. Looks like here's going to be a stumbling block that you can't really plan for. As you know, the only difference between a stumbling block and a steppingstone is perspective.
Sagittarius: Today is a 5.
Capricorn: Today is a 5.
different
You have an interesting weekend ahead of you. Take extra care to go over every step of your agenda carefully. Check everything on and off your list. Ask others if everything that needs to be done has been done, then follow up and make sure.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
You could come up with a brilliant idea today, something so obvious you'll wonder why you didn't think of it years ago. And it's so crisp, so clean, so appropriate, you might even be able to patent this gizmo, market it and make a fortune.
You could get a bonus today, but be careful. If you spend it on something that's good for the home and family, you'll prosper. If you spend it on anything else, you won't.
Pisces: Today is a 6.
There appears to be a fly creeping into the ointment later today. Hopefully it's not something broken that has to be fixed, and costs more than you thought it would. But that could happen, so be careful, especially around machinery.

Yankees, Nets merge to form YankeeNets
The New York Yankees and the NBA's New Jersey Nets have signed a letter of intent to merge the two teams into one company.
However, the teams' current management will remain in place, with George Steinbrenner running the Yankees and Lewis Ratz running the
Nets, the teams announced today. The deal, which creates a holding
company called YankeeNets, will enable the Yankees to gain better leverage in selling their local broadcast rights. Their $486 million, 12-year contract with Cablevision Systems Corp.'s Madison Square Garden Network expires after the 2000 season, and Cablevision also controls Fox Sports New York, the only other sports cable network in the New York area.
With the Yankees and Nets united, they will have 12-month programming and will be able to approach The Wait Disney Co 's ESPN
or Time Warner Inc. about starting a new regional sports channel.
The deal is subject to approval of owners in major league baseball and the NBA.

ROCKVILLE, Md. — Jail officials are disputing claims by Mike Tyson's lawyer and wife that he

Mike Tyson, jail officials dispute outburst's cause
destruction of county property and assaulting officers who say they were hit by shards of plastic from the TV.
Seznow said he was offered medication at all times if he would see a jail psychiatrist. Tyson's lawyer, Paul Kemp, has said the boxer refused to see the jail psychiatrist because he was being treated by a private doctor.
"Doctor Goldberg spoke to the therapist at the Detention Center and informed him that it would be medically inadvisable to discontinue the medication," said Tyson's wife, Monica, a medical doctor who practices in the Washington area.
"The jail did not cut him off of med-
Tyson has been under the care of Richard Goldberg, chairman of the psychiatry department at Georgetown University Medical Center.
Tyson's lawyer noted that his client's medication was restored Saturday when Goldberg was able to see him. Kemp contended that withholding Tyson's medication contributed to the TV-throwing incident.
"We are hopeful that upon review of this, before any action is finalized by the discipline review board, that the persons at the Detention Center look at this fact very carefully," Kemp said.
"It is undisputed the contracting psychiatrist with the Detention Center, not an employee, had ordered a reduction and then termination in his medication, Zoloft, which he needs for treatment of chronic depression," Kemp said.
