It is good to know there are still men of faith around as is evident from A J Sangster's letter (January 17). Whilst I share his concern for the environment and our proper management of it, he should be wary of the science around it. This is about politics, ideology and money, not science. The hottest-year claims confirm the case for political science overtaking climate science. The claim depends on minute fractions of a degree difference between years. Even NASA's James Hansen, the leading proponent of man-made global warming in the United States, conceded the hottest-year rankings are essentially meaningless. Hansen explained that 2010 differed from 2005 by less than two- hundredths of a degree F (that's 0.018F). "It's not particularly important whether 2010, 2005, or 1998 was the hot...
QUESTION Did Aung San Suu Kyi's father aid the Japanese during World War II? BURMESE opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi's father, Aung San (meaning victory), was born in 1915 in Natmauk, Central Burma, with the original name Htien Lin. His father, U Pha, was a lawyer, well-known in the movement that resisted British colonisation of Burma. At Rangoon University, he studied English literature, modern history and political science, graduating in 1938, and gained the title Thakin (lord or master).
FOR a while there - a short while - it looked as if the life of a political wife might be changing for the better. For a while, it looked as if having an IQ in three figures might be becoming less of an impediment to your spouse's political progress. In America, the vacant-eyed Laura Bush packed her bags and went back to Stepford, and the world greeted Michelle Obama, with her capable arms and her Harvard law degree. France, meanwhile, finally got rid of the exasperating Carla Bruni and replaced her as Premiere Dame with a woman with a master's in political science from the Sorbonne and a 20-year career in journalism.
TRIBUTES have been paid to a talented University of Birmingham student after he fell to his death. Political science student Bryn Gough, 23, died on August 1 after sustaining severe injuries following the fall, believed to have happened on campus.
HERE'S the biggest story of our time, lucidly told. Inside Job, nominated for best documentary feature at the Oscars, explains how the financial crash of 2008 happened, who was responsible and how little they have been held to account. Its author and director, Charles Ferguson, who has a degree in maths and a PhD in political science from MIT, worked in hi-tech industries before turning to film-making, forming a company meaningfully called Representational Pictures. His first documentary, No End In Sight: The American Occupation of Iraq, won numerous prizes. His second, Ifnside Job, is thoroughly didactic too. Ferguson is not interested in film-making flourishes: he just wants to inform and explain -- and thus enrage.

TRIBUTES were paid to a Liverpool student who died after a fall at university. Bryn Gough, 23, originally from Childwall, suffered fatal injuries in the fall in Birmingham, where he was studying political science.
There are some weird things on my bookshelves. One is a 1938 edition of a work of political science by a German chap named Hitler. It has to do with his struggle, supposedly. The frontispiece shows the author preening in one of his cute paramilitary costumes. The book isn't filed under poetry. Bavaria's state government has decided, nevertheless, to republish Mein Kampf before its copyright expires in 2015. The thinking is that there should be an honest, scholarly edition of Adolf Hitler's dismal monologue before Europe's neo-Nazis set to work. I'd call that a good German choice.
I WAS recently asked if I was trying for a seat at the local council elections. There is more chance of me winning Olympic Gold at this year's synchronised swimming competition, and this is despite the fact I have a degree in the Economics of Political Science.
