WITH THE POSSIBLE exception of Alfred Hitchcock, Philippe de Broca must be Cambridge's favorite director. After all, it was de Broca's universally acknowledged masterpiece King of Hearts that ran in Cambridge for over five years, gathering a dedicated following and becoming something of an initiation rite for nascent Cantabrigians, from 1971 until 1976. But no one had heard from de Broca in the past few years; the man who brought us King of Hearts and, once upon a time, That Man from Rio, seemed to have disappeared.

For summer at least, the newly revived turn-of-the-century collarless shirt, without the celluloid attachable collar, has possibilities. It is neat and extraordinarily comfortable. If only the collarless shirt did not reek so disagreeably of a sort of Bloomingdale's chic, which has the effect of somehow trivializing the wearer. For years Filipino men have managed to be both elegant and comfortable...
