Dylan and Françoise Hardy backstage at L'Olympia, 1966
In 1964, Dylan dedicated a poem to singer and actress Françoise Hardy who he had never met. This photo was taken on 24 May 1966 at l’Olympia, Paris after Dylan refused to return to the stage unless she was brought to him. She recalled that he looked like a vampire with yellow skin and long yellow fingernails. Later, at his 25th birthday party, at the George V, he took Hardy to his suite and serenaded her with I Want You” and Just Like a Woman. She later stated that “the thought that he was giving me a message with his songs did not cross my mind.” They never met again.

Julian Assange on his extradition appeal
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has waged a year-long battle in Britain to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he would be questioned about sexual assault allegations made by two Swedish women in 2010. A lower court upheld the validity of the Swedish arrest warrant. Assange now awaits an answer to his appeal to the British Supreme Court.
He also fears extradition from Sweden to the US on grounds related to the activities of WikiLeaks. Giving credence to those concerns was the emergence of a confidential email from within the US intelligence community, which revealed that American authorities had drawn up a sealed indictment containing espionage or conspiracy charges against Assange.
