Milos eyes

Milos eyes were liquid with integrity, and his artless and uncorrected face was lustrous with a shining mixture of sweat and insect repellent. -- page 256, chapter 24 "Milo", in Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.
It's odd that there is no apostrophe at all. The chapter's title gives you the character's name: Milo. Therefore, the sentence should open with Milo's eyes.
