complexity of LP



What is the state of the art in solving a linear program? I have heard of a result (from the 1980s I think) that says that the LP can be solved in time O(n^3 L) where n is the number of variables and L is the number of bits required to describe the instance. Is that still the sharpest result for the worst-case complexity?
