2B Quick Looks Monday April 27,1998 HOROSCOPES Today's Birthday (April 27). You're awesome this year. You won't know your own power, so be careful. You can get just about anything you ask for in May. Make a list. You'll be completing it all year long. Aries: Todav is a 5. You could go through a lot of money in a short time if you're not careful. You might do it even if you are careful. The latter is certainly the better option. If you're going to spend it, do it on something that will pay good returns on the investment. Taurus: Today is a 9. You generally keep a low profile, but it looks like you're stirred up about something. That's OK. You stand a good chance of winning the argument. Encouragement and support from friends also help. You simply outvote this other person. And you can do it without making an enemy. Gemini: Todav is a 5. You may be feeling kind of dense this morning, but don't worry. Your brain will clear by this afternoon. If you can manage to schedule appointments for Tuesday and Wednesday, even better. Cancer: Today is an 8. Meet with associates early this morning. It will be easy to make decisions, and take action. There will be a tendency to get bogged down in details, but not until this evening. Leo: Today is a 6. Don't argue with your boss or teacher. You won't stand a chance. Not only is that person stronger than you are, but he or she seems to have a chip on the old shoulder. There's so much to be done and this person feels responsible for all to it. Offer to help. Have you been thinking about traveling far from home? If so, this would be an excellent time to make your down payment on the trip. It's also a good time to learn the language. It'll be easier than usual if you start now. Get a tutor from that country to help. Virgo: Today is an 8. Libra: Todav is a 5. The work you have to do is complicated, and there are decisions to be made. You should be in a good frame of mind, however, and your intuition should be excellent. This evening looks good for travel. Take yourself out for a special treat. Scorpio: Today is an 8. Sagittarius: Todav is a 5. Your sweetheart is in a very persuasive mood. This may be a little unusual. Generally, you're the person who's doing the persuading. It's not an altogether unpleasant situation, however. In fact, if you're not careful, it could make you late for work. Capricorn: Today is an 8. You have the strength and determination to plow through just about any barrier you run into. The one you're most likely to hit is a mechanical breakdown. Even that you can fix, although it'll take a while. You'd best not plow through that, or you'll be adding to the problem. Aquarius: Today is a 5. You want to make marvelous plans that can only be achieved through miracles. 'I'll be hard to shake you out of that mood for most of the day.' This evening, you'll return to a semblance of normalcy. It looks like you could actually get some work done after dinner. This would be a fabulous day to stay home in bed. If you can't, at least get back there at your earliest opportunity. Meanwhile, think of ways to fix up your place even more. You'll want to entertain at home soon, maybe even tonight. It's about time you got it just the way you want it. Pisces: Today is a 9. You are willing to learn from a strong teacher, someone who is an expert at a skill you admire. If you're learning how to play the guitar, you'd want to sit at the feet of a virtuoso for hours. Devote as much time to that sort of endeavor as possible, even if you have to do your day job first.

When the race resumed, only 15 cars were left on the lead lap, two of those running with significant damage. "I guess it's just regular speedway racing," said Jerry Nadeau, who was involved in the crash. "When something happens, something happens big." Elliott and Dale Earnhardt took the worst of the crash at the start-finish line at Talladega Superspeedway, the fastest and arguably most dangerous track on the Winston Cup circuit. As the drivers completed the 141st lap, Elliott got hit by Earnhardt, whose car was turned sideways by a rear-end collision from Ward Burton. the DieHard 500.

"The fire came off Elliott's car and singed my hair," said Earnhardt, who had second-degree burns on his face. "My mustache got burned a little bit."

Burton emerged relatively unscathed and stood in ninth place when racing resumed. Earlier, two yellow flags had come out, but one was for debris on the track and the other was for fluid on the track. Track officials said Elliott bruised his sternum. He left the speedway on his own and was flying home to Dawsonville, Ga., where he would be examined by his own physician. "We all expected it," said Chad Little, who also got caught up in the crash. "It's Talladega. When it doesn't happen, that's unexpected." Knicks don't need Ewing to extinguish the Heat MIAMI — With a burst of emotion and a balanced attack that was missing in game one, the New York Knicks landed a counterpunch Sunday against the Miami Heat. John Starks scored 25 points, Allan Houston had 24 and Larry Johnson 22 as the Knicks rallied from a 14-point deficit to beat the Heat 96-86 and even their best-of-5 series at 1.1. even play in Game 1, grabbed 14 rebounds, including five on the offensive end, and point guards Charlie Ward (seven assists) and Chris Childs (a clinching late 3-pointer) combined to shut down Tim Hardaway. The duo held him to 15 points on 4-for-15 shooting to prevent a repeat of his 34-point performance in Game 1. Game 3 will be Tuesday at Madison Square Garden, where the Heat's career record is 3-22. The Knicks, outscored 33-3 from 3-point range in Game 1, this time went 7-for-15 to Miami's 5-for 19.

Childs even drew an imaginary knife across his throat after hitting a 3-pointer with 1.52 left for an eight-point lead. It was another bruising but clean game between two of the NBA's most bitter rivals. The biggest difference was the passion shown by the aging Knicks, who pumped their fists, bumped their chests and jumped around like youngsters as they pulled away in the fourth quarter. The playoff victory was New York's first since 1984 without Patrick Ewing, who again watched from the bench in street clothes. New York, which came into the game with a seven-game road losing streak, took the lead for good on two free throws by Starks to make it 69-67 with two minutes left in the third period.
