...Creator Chester Gould, 67, doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. "How do you think we defeated Hitler," he scoffs, "if it wasn't with violence? This is a war we're in, a battle against crime. We have to resort to violence to protect ourselves against evil." As if to underscore his point, Tracy continued merrily on his violent way. Having vaporized Intro in the Caribbean, he is asked by a late arrival where the enemy is. As the fumes rise from the placid waters, Tracy replies: "You're breathing him." "Beautiful afternoon...
...item in beach paraphernalia is oversized, clear-rimmed sunglasses known as "owl" and "moon" glasses. Most novel are "nudie" glasses, designed by London's Bernard Kayman.
