Strike while the planet is not too hot
Financial Times, 15/07/2013, p.8, Mike Scott
As governments start to grasp the implications of runaway climate change, there are signs of real change in the actions countries are taking domestically, says Bob Ward, policy and communications director at the Grantham Research Institute on climate change and the environment at the London School of Economics. “China is moving in the right direction and it is clear that in the US Obama would like to do more. All around the world, countries have been acting through domestic measures to move to a low-carbon economy,” he adds.

Extraordinary life of the café owner who took on the racists
The Independent, 13/07/2013, p.29, Jonathan Brown
She did not want to stay in the capital and when under the then controversial asylum dispersal scheme, she was asked where she wanted to go, she said anywhere. The young family found themselves in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Eldest son James-Earl, 18, who is hoping to study at the London School of Economics before going into banking admits it was not easy. "I remember when we first came and we were pretty much the only black people. When we walked down the street people used to turn around and look. It was like being in a movie but as a kid you don't take offence," he says.

A whole lotta love from four women
The Independent, 13/07/2013, p.16, David Sinclair
Paynes is kind of stunning. A committed Anglophile, she first came to Britain as an exchange student to study at the London School of Economics. She later formed a band in London and got herself some work writing for the NME and other journals. She played in a militant all-girl punk band called 1-900 Boxx who featured in the movie Rhythm Thief and she toured in Ronnie Spector's band.

The language of diplomacy
Financial Times, 13/07/2013, p.18, Harry Eyres
Gibson’s career began in the British army in India during the second world war, where he served on the staff of Field Marshal Mountbatten during the Burma campaign, and was impressed by Mountbatten’s work ethic and lack of obeisance to establishment norms. It continued, after speeded-up studies at Oxford and the London School of Economics, in the British Colonial Administrative Service in Malaya (now Malaysia) and then in a number of international bodies in which he played leading and, in some cases, founding roles.
