...only can, but is. Some men, of course, are old hands with a bag: Designer Rudi Gernreich has a complete wardrobe of them. Others, like Sammy Davis Jr., Jazz Trumpeter Hugh Masakela, Actors Jim Brown and Elliott Gould, Manhattan Publisher Jerry Mason and a host of lesser-known straight men, are busily following suit. Hippies have long favored the style, and members of a Houston contingent not only wear them but do a thriving business making and selling their brown suede "stash bags" for from $3 to $5. Industrial Designer Darrell Howe likes the fashion so much he is designing...
...styles, ranging from a heavy vinyl satchel ($17.50) to Vuitton's convertible shoulder-strap model ($125). Gucci, credited with starting the fad two years ago in Italy, shows two shoulder models in leather and canvas (Actor Marcello Mastroianni wears his with matching pants), along with the favorite clutch bag, a steal at $69. Furrier Jacques Kaplan has a dressier number, in fur with outside pockets, for $150. Paris Couturier Givenchy, in the U.S. last week, promised that his designs next year will include a purse for men.

Playing his distinctively cool, calculating game, he overwhelmed another Australian, Tony Roche, 7-9, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2, to win the U.S. Open championship and thereby stash an unprecedented second grand slam into his tucker bag. His victory earned him $16,000 in prize money and brought his winnings for the year to $106,030. He became the only tennis pro ever to win more than $100,000 in a single season...
...Italian Job, he is Charlie Croker, played by Michael Caine with his bag of standard accessories: cockney locutions, drooping eyelids and acute satyriasis. Charlie uses jail the way some men use their country clubs-to make valuable contacts. Though he is a petty criminal, Charlie contrives to rub shoulders with the larcenist laureate of England, an elegant superpatriot of a prisoner known only as Mr. Bridger (Noel Coward). Britannia waives the rules for Bridger, who affects Savile Row threads, dines alone, and stabilizes sterling by masterminding foreign robberies from his cell...
