:::::::::: You have misread me, I think. "Unduly self-serving" is not the same as "undue" and "self-serving". "Unduly self-serving" would be making an extravagant claim, such as the LvMI considers itself to be the most respected economics thinktank in the US. Anyway, you've convinced me that the first paragraph should stay - I was sat on the fence about it but no longer. It is a single paragraph, it concerns what appears to be a significant part of what they do and what they do forms a part of any article about any institute. -
