Fairy tales come in all shapes and sizes; and this week, the theatre scene in Glasgow and Edinburgh has been full of them. Ann Marie Di Mambro’s latest Play, Pie And Pint Show is a Glasgow tale about how female solidarity can trump even the deep class differences that divide the city; and if the conclusion seems a shade improbable – just get rid of the lying, cheating men in your life and live happily ever after – there’s plenty to enjoy along the way, in a fast-moving script from one of Scotland’s most experienced stage and television writers.

Maxwell is now the A’s backup behind Jonathan Lucroy, acquired during spring training, and he’s learning to adjust to limited at-bats. “Honestly, I’m not worrying about it,” Maxwell said. “I’m just trying to make sure I’m always prepared. That’s the hardest part — the extra stuff, away from the field, that’s what I need to make sure I stay on top of... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Unwilling to yield, President Donald Trump and China's government escalated their trade clash Friday, with Beijing vowing to "counterattack with great strength" if Trump follows through on threats to impose tariffs on an additional $100 billion in Chinese goods.
