Talk:Howard Stringer

message: I'm not quite sure whether it's correct to say ...educated at Oxford University where he earned BA and MA degrees in modern history, since as far as I know, at Oxford and Cambridge you get an MA by paying a small fee a short time after you get your BA, rather than actually studying for it! -- Arwel 12:40, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: How come he was drafted during the Vietnam War, when he was still a British subject at that time? Is that legal?
:Yeah, I didn't understand that either. It says later in the article that he became a US citizen in 1985, so there's no way he could have been drafted into the US army before then. One of those two facts, the 1985 date or the drafting, has to be incorrect.
::Yes, it certainly could happen to foreign legal residents at that time - I remember reading a New Musical Express report in the late 60s that The Monkees' Davy Jones was liable to be drafted, together with a doctored picture of him superimposed on Elvis Presley's "farewell to the Army" press conference photo. -- Arwel (talk) 08:36, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

He became a US citizen in 1985, but also maintains a British residence and British citizenship.
How is that possible ? I thought that to gain US Citizenship, you have to renounce British citizenship and hand in your passport (if you are British)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.181.15.81 (talk) 18:05, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

text: While there's a clause in the citizenship oath about renouncing foreign allegiances, the US does now recognise dual citizenships, and the oath has no effect whatsoever as far as Britain is concerned. -- Arwel Parry (talk) 21:40, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

message: This article in the wall st. journal states that he is a former journalist: Stringer Steps Up as Sony Faces Slump
I think that would be an interesting fact if anyone has any info. I will try to track down how he transitioned from journalist to Sony's CEO. H.E. Hall (talk) 12:26, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
