	The Late Sir David Rolland Spedding
		David Rolland Spedding was born on March 7 1943, the son of an Army colonel.
		Spedding was then sent on his only foreign posting outside the Middle East, arriving in Santiago in 1972 in the middle of the growing conflict between the Left-wing government of President Salvador Allende and the Right-wing opposition.
		Spedding was appointed OBE in 1980; CVO in 1984; and KCMG in 1996.

	Top British spy, Sir David Spedding, dies at age 58: 6/14/01
		Spedding, who had studied at Oxford University, was recruited into MI6 in 1967 and attended the Middle East Center for Arabic Studies, near Beirut, Lebanon -- once a training center for British spies.
		Spedding, like his predecessors, was known in government circles as "C," for Chief, the inspiration for "M," the creation of James Bond author Ian Fleming.
		Spedding, who was knighted in 1996, is survived by his wife, Gillian, and two sons.

		Sir David helped to shift MI6 towards new priorities, including countering the proliferation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, money-laundering, the drug trade (notably in South America), and cooperating with MI6's erstwhile targets - the intelligence services of the former Warsaw Pact countries in eastern Europe.
		Jack Straw, the new foreign secretary, in a tribute yesterday, said he was personally grateful for Sir David's advice after his retirement - a reference to his work with the Home Office on countering drugs-traffickers and security for the royal family.
		Sir David was knighted in 1996 and retired in 1999.

	Chris Spedding
		In the 70s, however, Chris Spedding was the exception: he may have been a hired gun, but he was cool, mostly because he always seemed so damn perverse in his career decisions.
		Sharks were a critical success but never caught the public interest, and Spedding drifted off into session-work, where he covered every base going.
		Spedding had no truck with the snobbery of the rock elite - as far as he was concerned, the single not the album was the most vital medium for rock and roll, and having a hit was a cause for celebration not embarrassment.

		I've heard Jeff Wayne doing lots of TV commercials, jingles, as we call them before I worked with him with David Essex, and he's a very, very original arranger, his concept of sound is - he's the first person I've worked with who worked with a synthesizer.
		And in those days, you couldn't program synthesizers, you had to adjust every day and every day the sound would be different, because the electronics would change with the tempertures and stuff, and you couldn't get a preset where you'd get the same sound day after day.
		I remember once he had Ray Cooper lowering a gong into a tank of water just to get an effect, and of course he recorded live on the tracks when we were doing the rhythm section.

	The Secret State: MI5 (Home Office/MoD), The Security Service and MI6 (Foreign Office/MoD), The Secret Intelligence ...
		BLOODY SUNDAY INQUIRY: The former British secret agent, David Shayler, has asserted that his serving MI5 colleagues will be inclined to lie to investigators "as they know that telling the truth might embarrass or expose their bosses, from whom they have no legal protection or trade union representation".
		When David Shayler appeared on Have I Got News For You last year, Paul Merton showed that alternative humour which has made him a millionaire by delivering the Wildean jibe that Shayler was a fatty bozo.
		That man is David Shayler, the portly Middlesbrough fan and MI5 officer, who so notoriously departed from the intelligence agency in 1996 with a sheaf of secret documents allegedly under his arm, to blow the whistle on numerous malpractices and talk to the press.

		This chap, David Kubinec, was managed by Trevor Beeton of Knightsbridge, London, and, at his best, he cops David Bowie's riffs, as on "The Elf Sires," which features elegant musicianship and the most creativity on this record.
		At least Chris Spedding and John Cale got some money out of A&M, so this record supported the arts in a roundabout way.
