...once gave an M.I.L.Y. bracelet to Maria and a T.I.L.Y. bracelet to Tina. He is no clotheshorse. His baggy suits ("Made in London while he's in New York," comments a Monacan critic) are always worn with a blue shirt and blue tie. He prefers to go shirtless on his yacht, and pays strict attention to his waistline...
Window VIII and Two Heads have a very special significance. The first was done as a memorial to Malcolm X, shows a shirtless Negro boy, arms raised in a prayerful gesture, staring sadly through the window. The second portrays a beautiful but pale and cold Negro woman with a Negro man peering at her from an orange-colored door. Asked if she were meant to be part white, Tooker replies, "Yes, none of us are pure." His mother's family is descended from 16th century Cuban Creoles...
...border, it is the home of 500-odd campesinos who scratch out a living by growing maize and rice in sun-baked clay that scarcely tolerates thorny scrub and cactus. Inside the Marichal bohio (palm-bark walls, thatched roof, oddments of homemade furniture), a nine-year-old boy sprawls shirtless on the concrete floor, unraveling the thread from an old silk stocking.

Only the strong hand of the military, which threw him out in the name of constitutional government, keeps him from returning-legitimately...
...route to El Alamein, the Frenchmen sweat and struggle while the German sneers. When they are bogged down in the sand, he refuses to dig. When he begins to unbend and reaches under a seat to offer an injured man a first-aid kit, they clobber him unconscious. Shirtless and wearing German army caps, they join a German troop convoy and narrowly escape disaster when a French P.W. in the convoy recognizes one of the fugitives (France's singing idol, Charles Aznavour) as a countryman. Later, in one fine funny scene, the Frenchmen push...
