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. Like a geek in a Silicon Valley garage, a knight smithing his own armor, Tony retreats to his workroom to build himself a new casing.

Other prominent Serbs who resigned under pressure were Serbian Central Committee Secretary Latinka Perović and Foreign Minister Mirko Tepavac. The premier of Slovenia, Stane Kavćić, and a Serbian member of the Presidium, Koca Popović, resigned voluntarily out of sympathy. Vague charges of "anarcho-liberalism" were leveled at those purged.
