Another Harringay Old Boy - Chair of Political Science at LSE

I've just updated the Wikipedia article on Maurice Cranston to include his Harringay roots.

Maurice Cranston (8 May 1920 – 5 November 1993) was a British philosopher, professor, and author. He served for many years as a Professor of Political Science at the London School of Economics, and was also known for his popular publications. In the late 1970s and early 1980s he was Professor of Political Theory at the European University Institute in Florence (Italy)
He was born at 53 Harringay Road Harringay[1] and educated at South Harringay School, the University of London and the St Catherine's College, Oxford.

I also added the picture to Wkipedia, but am including it here since it may not survive the Wikipedia censors. Last but not least, I added Mr C to the growing Wikipedia category of People from Harringay, that I set up a few years ago.

The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography tells us of Cranston:

He wrote a series of eight highly imaginative political dialogues between various historical figures, from Savonarola and Machiavelli on the state to Voltaire and Hume on morality, which were originally broadcast on the BBC Third Programme, frequently repeated, and subsequently published in 1968.

PS: I've also added Maurice to our blue plaque map.
