...rattle of machine-gun bursts were among the strange and terrifying sounds that occasionally drowned out the soft clatter of typewriter keys in our New York editorial offices last week. Had someone run amuck? No, the uproar came from the tumultuous sound track of the movie Bonnie and Clyde, which Cinema Writer Stefan Kanfer was using as ''Music to Write a TIME Cover Story By." As the tape recorder next to his typewriter spun out its violent cues, Kanfer worked on, at times pulling on a rubber exerciser, occasionally gnawing on a sandwich, and frequently pawing through piles...

At worst, they can come together in a marriage of convenience. At best, they may even get to like each other...
...alleged, "blackened" the memory of Bonnie and injured the reputation of Billie Jean, who offers some support of the claim: "One time Bonnie's leg was burned real bad in a car wreck. It took $9-a-day worth of Unguentine to put on her leg. Clyde had to rob places." Besides, she adds, "we used to take Bonnie pretty clothes. They didn't go around like a bunch of tramps...
