...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. And he won't make Dr. Frankenstein's mistake of using shoddy materials. This will be no stitched-together, run-amok creature. It can't be Tony's ruin; it must literally save his lifesaver. When he's done, out steps Iron...

He told me he bought a remote-controlled drone aircraft that could fire missiles from a smuggler who turned out to be an Israeli collaborator. The drone arrived at Salama's workroom in two pieces: one part was clean but the second was booby-trapped. The explosion killed six cell members and sent Salama to the hospital for months. The wire I spotted in his ear is a souvenir: a hearing aid for his badly damaged sense of sound. When I noted...
...letter on this page boasted about TIME's battalion of convention reporters, led by managing editor T.S. Matthews and Nation editor Otto Fuerbringer. "They will have all the mechanical conveniences that we can give them: a workroom...complete with teletype, television facilities and direct telephone communication with TIME's New York and Washington offices." It also crowed that the Time-Life team had "joined forces with the National Broadcasting Co. to report the convention via television." How quaint...
