U. Alexis Johnson (October 17, 1908 – March 24, 1997) was a United States diplomat.
Ural Alexis Johnson was born in Falun, Kansas into a family of Swedish descent. His mother named him for the mountain range, of which she learned from a geography book. He had a rural upbringing and schooling until 1923, when the family moved to Glendale, California. He graduated Occidental College in 1931.
Johnson entered the United States Foreign Service in 1935. After serving in Tokyo, Seoul, South Korea, Mukden (now Shenyang, where he was interned at the start of World War II), and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, he was assigned as Consul and later Consul General at Yokohama, Japan from 1945 to 1949. From 1949 to 1953, he served in various positions in the Department of State's Far East Bureau, mainly concerned with Japan and Korea, rising to be Deputy Assistant Secretary of State with responsibilities for the entire bureau."
He played a role in the armistice in the Korean War. He was ambassador to Czechoslovakia from 1953 to 1958, Thailand from 1958 to 1961, and to Japan from 1966 to 1969. While Ambassador to Czechoslovakia, he represented the United States in a long series of meetings in Geneva with the Chinese Communists, in the absence of diplomatic relations these were the principal point of contact between the two governments.

José Alejandro Suárez Martín (born 6 March 1974), known as Alexis, is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a central defender.
He amassed La Liga totals of 195 games and seven goals over the course of eight seasons, representing in the competition Tenerife, Levante and Valladolid.
Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Alexis started playing professionally with hometown's UD Las Palmas, by then in Segunda División B. Subsequently he joined neighbours CD Tenerife, making his La Liga debuts in the 1995–96 season as the Chicharreros finished in fifth position.
After Tenerife's second top level relegation in four years, in 2002, Alexis played a further season with the club before signing for Levante UD, being instrumental in the Valencia side's 2004 promotion.
After another promotion and relegation with Levante he scored a rare goal in 2006–07, in a 1–0 away win against Recreativo de Huelva on 17 September 2006, being an undisputed first-choice throughout the top flight campaign (33 starts in 34 appearances, 2,979 minutes of action).
Alexis (September 18, 1946 – September 7, 1977) was the pseudonym of Dominique Vallet, a French comics artist, best known for his work on the series Al Crane and Superdupont.
Alexis started working for Pilote magazine in 1968, providing illustrations and gags. In 1969, he began a collaboration with Fred on the series Timoléon, and started his working relationship with Gotlib on the film parody series Cinémastok in 1970.
The partnership with Gotlib continued for several years, leading to the creation of the magazine Fluide Glacial in 1975 where the advertising parody series La Publicité dans la Joie was published. In 1976, Alexis started the humorous western series Al Crane, in collaboration with Gérard Lauzier, and in 1977 he succeeded Gotlib as artist of the series Superdupont, written by Jacques Lob.
While working on the post-apocalyptic work Le Transperceneige, Alexis died as a result of a ruptured aneurysm on September 7, 1977. His final work was later completed by Jean-Marc Rochette.

Well I'm here,
I'm in the Yukon,
And I'm trying all it on.
Well I'm here,
I'm trying to soak in
All the cool dry air alone.
Tyler with Alexz humming harmony:
Well I'm here.
And I'm not smoking.
And I'll be leaving with a picture.
Soft spokenâ¦
Both:
Well I can see the river's frozen,
All the long roads track and gone.
And I believe that something's watching
So keep your eyes right on the road.
Well I'm here,
And I'm not broken.
And I'll be leaving with an image,
Soft spokenâ¦
So see the soft spoken words alive,
And believe the cold tired shelter dive.
Ohh, ohh ohh, ohh ohh
