‘It was on its way to becoming a smash hit. Then gangs in various parts of the country clashed outside cinemas – and they began pulling the film’I thought Sol Yurik’s 1965 novel, The Warriors, would work well as a film but I told Larry Gordon [the producer]: “Nobody will ever let us make it. We’d have to shoot at night in New York, and it doesn’t lend itself to star casting.” I turned it down and went to do a western but the finance fell apart. Larry came back and asked if I was still interested. Continue reading...

8 h. ago Tariffs on Canada and Mexico to take effect but may not be at 25% Trump threatened – US politics live

Commerce secretary says president would determine whether to stick with the planned level in first indication it could changeDonald Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China could force American consumers to pay an average of $1,200 more per year, a prominent economic thinktank warns.An analysis from the Peterson Institute for International Economics found that the tariffs would prompt retaliation from foreign governments, harming economic growth and leading to higher import costs that would be passed on to American households. Here’s more:This past weekend, President Donald Trump announced the largest tax increase in at least a generation (since 1993 or before), with the imposition of 25 percent tariffs on most goods from Canada and Mexico (aside from Canadian energy, which faces a 10 percent tariff), alongside a 10 percent increase in tariffs on goods from China. The direct cost of these actions to the typical, or median, US household would be a tax increase of mo...

10 h. ago Rachel Roddy’s recipe for hazelnut, spelt and butter biscuits | A kitchen in Rome

Introduce yourself to soft, nutty, slightly sweet spelt flour, and discover how it complements these hazelnut shortbreadsSeven years ago, I walked along Oxford Street in London with the baker and writer Henrietta Inman. I can’t remember where we’d been in order to be illuminated by Foot Locker and Muji at midnight, but I do remember we talked about spelt flour. Or, rather, Henrietta did, describing its flavour as soft and nutty, and all as part of our wider conversation about her decision to leave the subterranean pastry kitchen of a five-star London hotel and return home to Dorset, where she adapted her knowledge and skill to different ingredients, resulting in her book The Natural Baker.Back then, I knew a bit about spelt’s importance in ancient cooking (by various civilisations, including the Romans, who called it the marching grain), but I was confused as to what spelt actually was, which wasn’t helped by the translations: spelta, farro spelta, emmer, einkorn, dinkel wheat.
