...cave and demand that he build them a devastating weapon. Instead, Stark builds himself a suit of armor with a new sense of purpose. "Tony Stark goes through a bit of a moral reawakening in this movie," Favreau says-a character arc that tipped the casting in Downey's favor. "You can't have a moral reawakening if you're in high school. You have to have done things in your life to be able to look back and say that I've made mistakes or maybe I should re-evaluate the way I approach things...

...Harvard College application, his personal diary, and an e-mail he wrote to the College’s Administrative Board on its Web site. In response, Facebook filed two emergency motions to try to force 02138 to take down the documents. A federal court ruled in favor of 02138 in December 2007, recognizing the magazine’s First Amendment right to publish the information. 02138 is also known for its publication of the “Harvard 100”, an annual list of the 100 most prominent living Harvard graduates, which was topped this year by former Vice...
