Beijing's Censors Could Test the Mettle of Iron Man

So getting an evil Chinese character like the Mandarin past the government cinema police could prove to be a challenge for the makers of "Iron Man 3," which is scheduled for release next spring.

Tony Isabella's Bloggy Thing: CORRECTING THE BACK ISSUES RECORD

#57 [TwoMorrows; $8.95], I was ticked off that the interviewer got
virtually every "Tony Isabella fact" wrong as he tried to jog the
memory of his subject. I wrote a more grumpy than friendly letter
to the editor of the magazine.
