Journalist Lord Deedes Dies at 94

Lord Deedes was the only man to have edited a newspaper - the Telegraph and to have been in the British Cabinet. He spent most of his life writing for national newspapers and became known as the "Grand Old Man of Fleet Street" writing his final column on August 3. He died at his home in Kent after a short illness and Gordon Brown said Britain owed a hugh debt of gratitude for Lord Deedes public service.
