James Douglas "Jim" Morrison (December 8, 1943 – July 3, 1971)
This is the end, beautiful friend / This is the end, my only friend
The end of our elaborate plans / The end of ev'rything that stands
The end / No safety or surprise
The end / I'll never look into your eyes again
Can you picture what will be / So limitless and free
Desperately in need of / some strangers hand
In a desperate land / Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane / All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain / There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the king's highway / Weird scenes inside the goldmine
Ride the highway West baby / Ride the snake
Ride the snake / To the lake
To the lake / The ancient lake baby
The snake is long / Seven miles
Ride the snake / He's old
And his skin is cold / The west is the best
The west is the best / Get here and we'll do the rest
The blue bus is calling us / The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where you taking us? / The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on / He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall / He went into the room where his sister lived
And then he paid a visit to his brother / And then he walked on down the hall
And he came to a door (The End-Lyrics)

Warning signals of a double-dip recession flash brightly across the world, by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, Telegraph 29/06/2010
Spreads on Greek debt have jumped 350 basis points since the EU announced its plan in early May. Portuguese and Spanish yields have both jumped sharply despite direct action by the European Central Bank to force down yields. Private buyers are clearly dumping their holdings onto the ECB as fast they can.
Mr Redeker said Japanese life insurers and institutional investors are slashing their estimated $700bn holdings of European debt. The funds are being recycled into yen, which reached ¥107 against the euro yesterday, the strongest in nine years.
The flight to safety in Tokyo depressed yields on Japanese 10-year bonds to 1.11pc. There are concerns in any case that Japan itself may be sliding back into deflationary deep freeze. Japan’s unemployment rose in May for the third straight month to 5.2pc. Industrial output fell slightly. Production of capital goods – a leading indicator – fell 4.4pc.
Italy has been largely immune to Europe’s bond crisis until now, thanks to high savings. None of its banks have required a rescue. However, fresh threats of secession by the Lega Nord and last week’s general strike over austerity measures have revived fears about the stability of the political system.
Italy’s public debt is the third largest in the world after the US and Japan. Everybody knows that if the crisis ever reaches Rome, the game is up for monetary union.

Russian experts scoff at alleged spy ring, by Sergei L. Loiko, The Los Angeles Times 01/07/2010
In a telephone interview, historian Nikita Petrov characterized the operation as a waste of money that smacked of anachronistic Soviet-era thinking, which came into open conflict with "the desires of a gang of adventurist individuals to lead ordinary lives and build their family future in the United States at the expense of the Russian taxpayers."
Popular author and commentator Yulia Latynina dismissed the alleged operation as "an imitation of espionage."
"Putin's Russia has an imitation of democracy, an imitation of the empire and now an imitation of espionage," she said in a telephone interview. "The only thing Putin's Russia is not even pretending to have is an imitation of an economy."
''Why should these young people under fake aliases walk their dogs in an American street and take their kids to an American school at our expense?" Latynina said. "Of course it is much more pleasant to live in the United States," she added, predicting that the accused spies would spill everything they know to U.S. authorities, and then beg to stay.
'Russia spy' Anna Chapman's husband: I thought I knew her, by Gordon Rayner and Andy Bloxham, Telegraph 02/07/2010
Mr Chapman, who now lives in Bournemouth, Dorset, said he last spoke to his ex-wife four weeks ago but “she seemed distant.” He added: “I thought I knew her but she has taken this path I don’t believe she consciously knew she was going down.
“I believe in my heart there has been some sort of influence on her, some sort of conditioning, then when push came to shove she found herself in a situation she couldn’t get out of.”
