Time to find out who we are
The Guardian, 27/07/2012, p.1, Jonathan Freedland
As Tony Travers, scholar of cities and especially the capital at the London School of Economics, puts it, "They're like airlines used to be: a test of national pride and capacity to deliver." And the Olympics is the big one. "It's the UN general assembly, Davos, the World Cup and the world's biggest convention of journalists all rolled into one."

The gossip
The Times, 27/07/2012, p.63, Honor Marks
Where can you get an GBP800 million return on a GBP12 million investment? Not from any hedge-fund that we know. But this is the startling claim from three top British music conservatoires, following the publication of an independent assessment by Professor Tony Travers of the London School of Economics.
Suu Kyi criticised by pro-democracy campaigners for 'silence on abuses'
The Daily Telegraph, 27/07/2012, p.14, Alex Spillius
In her first parliamentary speech this week Miss Suu Kyi cited the importance of protecting minority rights, but that was widely regarded as referring to larger Buddhist groups such as the Karen and Shan. Maung Zarni, a Burmese academic who was on a panel with her at the London School of Economics in June, said: "She has been very non-committal on the issue of the Rohingya."
Special Kay
Investors Chronicle, 27/07/2012, p.6, Unattributed
The Kay Review, commissioned by Business Secretary Vince Cable to examine investment in UK equity markets and its impact on the long-term performance of UK quoted companies, has presented its conclusions. John Kay, a professor at the London School of Economics, claimed that director remuneration should be linked to long-term goals rather than "short term gains".
European entrepreneurs - Les miserable
The Economist, 28/07/2012
Markets that had been closely linked before 1914 fell back into fragments, says Leslie Hannah, a business historian at the London School of Economics. That limited the ability of new firms to build scale and grow into giants, especially in the decades before the European Union’s single market.

The Critics CRITIC AT LARGE Slicker city
New Statesman, 30/07/2012, p.68, Leo Hollis
