will be a fine-looking man. But I want to tell you something you will never forget. Please." Manuel held up his hand, with the thumb and forefinger flattened from years of toil with the needle. He pointed first to his heart, then to his head. "You will never, my son, let it go from here — to here." The combination of his parents' pride in him and Al Schwartz's influence gradually molded Tony into a boy who gave his family much less cause for worry, and only once more did he get into a fight, a fight that wasn't finished until years later. A schoolmate whom we'll call John Smith had taunted Tony for weeks, calling him the vilest of names. When Tony could stand it no longer he started to pummel the other boy. Teachers broke up the fight and Tony was hauled off to the principal's office. When he had explained the cause of his actions the man looked kindly. "I can't blame you, my boy, not in the least. I would have done the same had I been in your position. But this is a situation I can do nothing about, and I'd be glad if you could control yourself." Shortly thereafter, Tony's family moved into another neighborhood, depriving him of an opportunity to finish the fight on the streets, but the memory rankled. Just before Tony turned seventeen his mother gave birth to another baby. From the moment she knew she was pregnant, Helen Schwartz had prayed that this baby would be a boy, to replace her lost Julius. Her prayers were answered, and soon after little Bobby made his appearance, Tony enlisted in the Navy, knowing that should anything happen to him, his parents had another child to enrich their lives. He served on a submarine in Pacific waters for three years and his letters to his family were frequent and regular, with no mention of the danger to which he was subject every second. One day when they had surfaced near Guam and were loading torpedoes the loading chain snapped, and with the force of a giant slingshot, hit Tony in the back. The blow sent him skidding along the deck and into the water, and although he recovered sufficiently to see many more months of active service, the injury gave him considerable trouble. After his discharge in 1945 he was hospitalized for treatment of his back, and then decided on his future. The long days at the hospital were brightened for the boys by a woman who regularly visited the ward and brought with her a stack of small books containing the plays of Shakespeare.
