Last week he announced plans to merge Imperial College with University College London, creating a huge new institution that would dwarf Britain's other leading universities. Feta Accompli? In the latest decision to give geographic protection to food, the European Commission ruled that the label feta can only be used on cheese from Greece - outraging the non-Greek producers who make three quarters of the world's feta. Danish firms vowed...
