A plastic princess designed to breed
Daily Mail, 19/02/2013, p.1, Francesca Infante
The Duchess, 31, will visit the addiction charity's Hope House treatment centre, in Clapham, south London, to meet women recovering from alcohol and drug dependency. Mantel, 60, studied law at LSE and Sheffield University, before becoming a novelist. She is author of more than a dozen books, including Wolf Hall and Bring Up The Bodies, the first two parts of a trilogy about King Henry VIII’s adviser Thomas Cromwell, both of which won the Man Booker Prize.

Human rights exit 'would be disaster'
The Daily Telegraph, 19/02/2013, p.12, Unattributed
Mr Costa, president of the European Court of Human Rights until 2011, said criticism of the institution had damaged its standing on the Continent. His remarks, made in a lecture at the London School of Economics, follow demands by some Conservative MPs for a Bill of Rights to replace membership of the convention.
Supply matters, Mr Osborne - but so does demand
Financial Times, 19/02/2013, p.11, Robert Skidelsky; Marcus Miller
Because of hysteresis, pure supply-side policies are not sufficient. Buoyant demand, though necessary for sustained medium-term growth, is not sufficient either: supply-friendly policies are also called for. As the recent London School of Economics Growth Commission report points out, the promotion of skills, the development of infrastructure and support for innovation are "the essential drivers of the productivity growth on which the UK’s future prosperity depends”.
