...adult form of the disorder. There's childhood and early onset bipolar, but it transitions in your early adulthood into something a little bit different, and extremely severe. It was at that time that my impulse control just went out the window. Impulse control when you're manic just disappears. One of the ways that manifested in my life was in cutting, and not being able to stop cutting...
Tony is as smart, wily and manic as ever, but now he's a man with a mission: to dismantle his own company. Which doesn't thrill his longtime, avuncular, head-shaved partner, Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges). No matter: Tony has never taken "Don't" for an answer.

Whereas each class of high school seniors that touches down in Cambridge each fall undoubtedly consists of a sizable pack of strays who, in search of some pedigree in the snafu of college applications, have ended up where they can afford to be dedicated to success and little...
