discovered that for stroke, exercise was actually more effective than drug treatment. However, for heart failure, diuretic drugs were more effective than exercise. The team, which included researchers from the London School of Economics, Harvard Medical School and Stanford University, said that the evidence-base for the benefits of exercise in reducing mortality from the conditions was small and more trials

Ralph Miliband didn't hate Britain, says his biographer - his enemy was injustice
The Guardian, 02/10/2013, p.1, Michael Newman
But we can only understand Miliband's long-term attitude to the country by appreciating it within his general outlook. Levy claims that Harold Laski, his teacher and mentor at LSE, "encouraged his growing interest in Karl Marx". This is highly misleading. In fact, Miliband had already regarded himself as a Marxist at the age of 16.

Many of these were British academics, intellectuals and journalists. Among them were the founders of the London School of Economics, Sidney and Beatrice Webb. They merely said of Stalin's terror famine: 'Strong must have been the faith and resolute the will of the men who, in the interest of what seemed to them the public good, could take so momentous a decision.’

Bob Ward, of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, based at the London School of Economics, said: "The BBC's coverage of the new climate-change report was variable, with some excellent reporting by its science and environment correspondents, but some very poor contributions from presenter-led programmes.
