Cameron's fracking defence is demolished
The Independent, 04/09/2013, p.1, Tom Bawden
“I do think it’s a bit odd to say you know that it will bring the price of gas down. That doesn’t look like sound economics to me. It’s baseless economics,” said Lord Stern, chair of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change at the London School of Economics.

Professor Ronald Coase
Telegraph (Web), 03/09/2013, Unattributed
He won a scholarship to Kilburn Grammar School, then studied under the University of London external programme. His ambition to go on to read History at university was thwarted by the fact that he had not studied Latin, and he dropped his second choice, Chemistry, because he found the mathematics involved not to his taste. Instead he went on to the London School of Economics to study Commerce.
