MEN’S FASHION AND LOOKS

Jack Smith devotes another column to the Ladies Home Journal. Margo Kaufman reveals that neighbors often come into conflict with one another. Meryl Streep promotes her new movie and expresses outrage over her plight: to be 40, gifted and rich.

The truly daring man this fall will be wearing a red suede shirt, $695, from Polo/Ralph Lauren, Beverly Hills (“Revolution in Color,” by Barbara Foley, Sept. 9). To go with the shirt, he will shave, shower and bronze his skin (Looks, “Tall, Dark and Handsome,” by Michael Quintanilla).

And I thought nothing was going on in the world.
