Personal life isn't off limits for the board
Financial Times, 18/06/2013, p.14, Andrew Hill
For all I know, Sir Philip Hampton, RBS’s chairman, offered his rocklike chief executive a shoulder to cry on in 2010 (though Mr Hester has said running the bank played no part in his divorce). But “it requires a very emotionally astute chair to sense things are wrong and to tackle the issue proactively”, as Simon Wong of Northwestern University School of Law and London School of Economics puts it.

Borisstan: the independent city state and docking station for global wealth formerly known as London
The Guardian, 18/06/2013, p.5, Aditya Chakrabortty
As the LSE's Ian Gordon and others had shown, fewer Britons settled in London between 1997 and 2006 than left it. No, the big influx into the capital was from those born outside the UK, whether they came to work in its private-equity shops or its coffee bars. One of the ways London grew to be a world city during the bubble was by sweating migrant labour, sometimes for a lot of money, but usually for a pittance.

In search of the clever country
Financial Times, 18/06/2013, p.1, Charles Clover
Perhaps nothing demonstrated the success of his project better than his abrupt resignation on May 8 from the post of deputy prime minister, a few days after he had harshly criticised, from a lecture podium at the London School of Economics, the system he worked so hard to build. “If what we want is a militarised country where the main thing is simply the ability to check up on everyone – this is one trend,” Mr Surkov told the audience.
