[edit] list from London School of Economics
The following list comes from the main LSE page. It is largely duplication of the list here (List_of_London_School_of_Economics_people). But someone needs to go through & sort out whether there's any new information, and also weed for errors. (eg I know David Attenborough didn't study at LSE - he was awarded an honorary degree, but that doesn't make him an alumnus).
- The list on this page has now been merged to the article overleaf. Little attempt was made to check accuracy of the items during the merge, but no information was lost from either list. Feel free to remove this list from this talk page if you need the space, but I'll leave it here for reference for now. -- zzuuzz (talk) 16:39, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What's the difference between a 'head of state' and a 'head of government'?
--Anchoress 05:36, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- I noticed that no-one answered my question. It's not a homework question or trolling; I ask because I wonder why they are both necessary in the article. Anchoress 02:15, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- They are broadly similar, except when they are not. The Head of state and Head of government articles explain it. -- zzuuzz(talk) 02:38, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
