SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You
sometimes go to extremes to prove
a point. But this time, you won’t
have to. Supporters are ready,
falling over themselves to help you
make your case.
AMBER WAVES

LAFF-A-DAY
FLASHBACK
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Venus might be your ruling plan-
et, but Mars is in the picture as
well. So don’t be surprised if your
romantic relationships are a bit
rocky at this time. But they’ll soon
smooth over.
by Dave T. Phipps
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Geminis might rush into romance
and risk being wrong about
someone rather than be left with
no one. But this is one time when
it’s wiser to be wary of where your
heart takes you.
by Jeff Pickering
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
With all (or most) of those pesky
problems behind you, take time
for your family and friends. Travel
aspects are favored, with long-dis-
tance journeys high on the list.
SUPER CROSSWORD: DIRECTION FINDING
by Mick Harper

SUDOKU
DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK
VIRGO (August 23 to Septem-
ber 22) You have a reputation for
honesty and integrity, and that will
help turn around a situation that
was not only disappointing but
also quite unfair. Good luck.
LIBRA (September 23 to Octo-
ber 22) A happy event creates a
closer tie with a family member
who seemed hopelessly estranged.
Positive aspects also dominate in
important career matters.
SCORPIO (October 23 to No-
vember 21) Your ruling planet,
Pluto, helps you adjust to change.
So, stop putting off that long-de-
layed move, and make it with the
assurance that you’re doing the
right thing.
ANSWERS
1. Yes. Dorothy,
Phyllis and Chris-
tine were sisters
from Ohio. It’s said
the group broke
up when they were
blackballed because
one of them was in
a personal relation-
ship with a famous
mobster.
2. Brenda Lee, in
1961. She was only
16 at the time, fully
a professional even
at that age.
3. Th e Steve Miller
Band, in 1986. Ken-
ny G did a sax solo
on the song.
4. Chubby Checker,
of “Twist” fame.
5. “Th e Long and
Winding Road,” by
the Beatles, 1970. It
was their last of 20
U.S. No. 1 singles.
A short time later
when co-writer Paul
McCartney went
to court to legally
dissolve the band,
he pointed to pro-
ducer Phil Spector’s
modifi cations to the
song as being one
reason why.
