Subcontinental Drift
The Times, 18/02/2013, p.2, Unattributed
Internationalist professionals look increasingly towards the United States, both for education and professional advantage. Today, a globe-trotting Indian executive sounds less as if he or she went to the London School of Economics, and more as if he or she went to Harvard or Yale. Often, he or she did. In truth, Britain has much to offer India.

As Africa rises, Europe loses grip on Catholic power base
The Observer, 17/02/2013, p.40, Afua Hirsch
“It’s very common in many parts of Africa that the Pentecostal churches have been 'sheep stealing'," says Matthew Engelke, senior lecturer in anthropology and an expert on African churches at the London School of Economics. "One of the reasons is that the Pentecostal churches are seen to speak better to local cultural traditions and ideas of the spirit world. They take seriously the ideas of spirit possession, witchcraft and other things which – at least in some traditions of Catholicism – have been downplayed and denied."

All of us meddlers
The Daily Telegraph, 16/02/2013, p.28, Jane Shilling
Who could possibly object to such a benevolent vision? Well, the political philosopher John Gray, for a start. Gray, whose academic career included professorships at the London School of Economics, Oxford, Harvard and Yale, is a critic of the neo-liberal philosophy.
