No bias for crass action
Times Higher Education Supplement , 28/06/2012, Unattributed

Until this issue was raised in the media, many of us had probably forgotten that King had ever been a scholar (a professor of economics at the London School of Economics in his mid- thirties). http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=26&storycode=420384&c=1&E=1|
