" Back in Black This is not a beatnik uniform. The true beat poets--Ginsberg, Snyder--weren&amp;#039;t tiptoeing around underground bars wearing matching black knitwear. Somehow the sweater got that sensitive-poet reputation, though, and it wasn&amp;#039;t until Steve McQueen wore one in 1968&amp;#039;s Bullitt that the wimpy black turtleneck became a tough-guy thing--what you wore to pursue mafiosi through San Francisco, what you took off to make love to Jacqueline Bisset, your soft-lit girlfriend.
