Julian Assange, creator of Wikileaks which has revealed contents of diplomatic communications over the Internet, is accused of sexual assault in Sweden. He has been hiding out in London, but the UK recently decided to extradite him for his trial there.
Hilary Clinton, U.S. secretary of state, said she had to make an "apology tour", mostly embarrassing, gossipy revelations. It is the right of confidentiality in diplomatic conversations versus freedom of information.
At any rate, Assange has been hiding out in a flat above Frontline Restaurant, two blocks from the Hardvendel flat. We have eaten at the restaurant. . .it is run by former journalists. I understand that some or all of Wikileaks generated from here.
Interesting to be in the middle of a huge city where so much is going on. However, I am getting homesick for rural America and I will be glad to be back in Saline County.
