1,000 pupils and rising - primary schools go supersize
The Guardian, 18/05/2013, p.1, Jessica Shepherd
Studies are inconclusive about whether large primaries are better, but researchers have found several advantages. Dr Philip Noden, a research fellow in education at LSE, said parents often liked the idea of small schools but some were small because they were unpopular. "In contrast, some good schools may be able to grow larger to meet excess demand," he said. He added that evidence had shown pupils were less likely to be bullied in large schools.

Berlin or bust
Financial Times, 18/05/2013, p.8, Tony Barber
Ulrich Beck, a left-leaning social scientist at Munich university and the London School of Economics, would broadly agree with Hewitt, but also delivers a crisp, sometimes sharply critical assessment of Merkel’s style of leadership. In German Europe, Beck contends that Germany’s rise to pre-eminence in the euro crisis owes much to what he calls Merkel’s “art of selective procrastination”.

Capital gains fuel visions of a breakaway London
Financial Times, 18/05/2013, p.11, Martin Wolf
This, thinks her husband, is a typically matter-of-fact reaction to his daughter’s provocation about the commission chaired by Tony Travers of the London School of Economics. He decides to support his wife. “It has done what one would expect: produced a reasonable report that would give London the fiscal autonomy it clearly ought to have.”

Why won't regulators act to protect widows?
The Daily Telegraph, 18/05/2013, p.14, Ian Cowie
Hard to believe? Some experts, including Ros Altmann a governor of the London School of Economics, reckon the problem may be even bigger than I have reported. She told me: “If married men buy direct from an insurer, with no financial adviser, more than 80pc buy single life. It is very difficult to get accurate figures as the annuity companies seem very reluctant to release them.

How two farm-boys-done-good could change the world
New Statesman (Web), 17/05/2013, Michael Brooks
If you heard the sound of weeping and gnashing of teeth in central London last night [16 May], it was because Hansen was giving a talk. The howling from the LSE lecture hall wasn't outrage over climate change - everyone in the building already appreciated those facts.
