...bricks of the Old city give way to the textured concrete of the New. Once inside, you are free. Already on the third level when you enter, you look up a hundred feet to the overhanging cliffs of a stairwell from the bare arcadia in which you stand. The red-gray bricks carry you to sunny terrace and farther and up to the concrete transition...
...herself to cook?a pastime she enjoys and is good at?and occasionally likes to get away for some fishing. But most of her socializing is confined to the small circle of girlhood friends with whom, until a couple of years ago, she spent Wednesday nights skating at the Arcadia Roller Rink...
Died. The Rev. Guy Emery Shipler, 86, controversial Episcopal clergyman, editor since 1922 of The Churchman, an influential monthly unofficially allied with the Episcopal Church; of a stroke; in Arcadia, Calif.

But Producer Beatty and Director Arthur Penn have elected to tell their tale of bullets and blood in a strange and purposeless mingling of fact and claptrap that teeters uneasily on the brink of burlesque. Like Bonnie and Clyde themselves, the film rides off'in all directions and ends up full of holes...
