1. The long, strange self-imposed exile of Julian Assange has come to an end.

The WikiLeaks founder is in custody in London after Ecuador dropped his asylum protections. After seven years in the embassy’s tiny offices, relations with his hosts had frayed badly, including disputes over his behavior, cat and personal hygiene. Mr. Assange left the embassy in a police van, above.

He faces an extradition warrant filed by the U.S., which unsealed an indictment of one count of conspiracy to hack a computer, related to his role in the 2010 release of classified U.S. documents. The charge is narrow, to the relief of press freedom advocates.
