Should the Church end 'pay or pray'?
The Times, 20/11/2013, p.6, Helen Rumbelow
For primaries, the segregation is more marked. In 2011 Olmo Silva from the London School of Economics examined all 11,000 state primaries in England and found that children at church school were more likely to have English as a first language and be white and were less likely to have special educational needs or be eligible for free school meals.
Did Cameron see the truth in Sri Lanka?
Daily Mail, 20/11/2013, p.16, Andrew Alexander
Perhaps the most famous and influential tours in British history were those of the Webbs and Bernard Shaw to Russia in the 1930s. They came back positively glowing with praise for Stalin’s regime. Sidney and Beatrice Webb were founders of the London School of Economics (where Ed Miliband’s father taught).

Government and suppliers - the danger of scoring an own goal
guardian.co.uk (Web), 19/11/2013, David Walker Colin Cram
Professor Tony Travers of the London School of Economics, who is especially well versed in the complex contracting history of Transport for London, notes that the degree of competition in public service markets is highly variable: for TfL's signalling contracts there is a single supplier. In defence, there's BAE … and that's it.

Carbon conundrum prompts some greens to think the unthinkable: nuclear
Reuters UK (Web), 19/11/2013, Unattributed
"If you are thinking seriously about holding climate change to no more than 2 degrees you can't afford to rule out any of the low-carbon technologies," said Nicholas Stern, chair of the Grantham Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics. "You need to be investing in all of them - including nuclear," he told Reuters.
