Is the Lady for turning?
The Times, 17/01/2013, p.4, Richard Lloyd Parry
“NLD has found a new lucrative mission - crony-laundering,” Maung Zarni, a dissident Burmese academic at the London School of Economics, wrote. And news of the crony connection comes after a series of statements - and non-statements - that have dismayed the kind of liberal intellectuals, Burmese and foreign, who have been the democracy movement’s most passionate supporters.
And this time we mean it... Lib Dems risk backlash with tuition fee pledge
The Independent, 17/01/2013, p.12, Andrew Grice
Nicholas Barr, Professor of Public Economics at the London School of Economics, said yesterday that a lower cap would make sense to ensure enough people have a high-quality university education. He believes the Government went too far by ending the taxpayers' subsidy to universities, and says the axed teaching grant should be partially restored.

International Herald Tribune, 17/01/2013, p.3, Stephen Castle

The Debate Over Online Anonymity
The Wall Street Journal (Europe), 17/01/2013, p.22, Ben Rooney
However, Simon Davies, a former senior visiting fellow at the London School of Economics and founder of the Privacy International watchdog, said Facebook's characterization lacked the subtlety of real-world interactions. "In the real world there are countless circumstances where we only know a person by their pseudonym or by their public identity," he said.

Social science is this year's theme for parks
Times Higher Education, 17/01/2013, Unattributed
A lack of funding prevented the London School of Economics from following up a proposal to create a social science park in the 1990s, Mr Price said. But other institutions are starting to follow suit, such as the University of Birmingham with its free school linked to the institution's School of Education.
