FACTOID #151: The five countries with the highest coffee consumption are also the five countries whose citizens trust one another the most. Coincidence? Probably.
Norman Anthony Francis St John-Stevas, Baron St John of Fawsley, PC (born May 18, 1929), is a British Conservative politician, author and barrister. His surname was compounded from his father's (Stevas) and mother's (St John-O'Connor).
He was educated at Ratcliffe College, Leicester and read law at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. He also studied at Christ Church, Oxford and Yale University. He was called to the Bar of the Middle Temple in 1952.
LordStJohn of Fawsley, the senior non-executive at BSkyB, told the Guardian yesterday that he was under no pressure from the elder Murdoch.
LordStJohn was at pains to show that the process for selecting Mr Ball's successor would be fair.
LordStJohn said he then recommended expanding the nominations committee, which consisted of himself and fellow independent non-executive director John Thornton, to include Mr Leighton and Gail Rebuck, chairman of book publisher Random House and also an independent member of the board.
