...scene began when five gendarmes escorted two handcuffed hoods and their blonde gun moll into the chambers of Judge Robert Magnan for a preliminary hearing. As was the custom at the supposedly escape-proof Palais, the handcuffs were removed from the wrists of Christian Jubin and Georges ("Jo") Segard, both 30. Segard and his wife Evelyne, 27, stood charged with 31 armed robberies. Jubin, moreover, was accused of a double murder and rape. While Judge Magnan reviewed their dossiers, Evelyne opened her purse, ostensibly to get a handkerchief. Before anyone could say "Search la femme" she whipped out a pistol...

She had wanted the new car for herself, but when Bob insisted she use their old car while he took over the new one, she suggested that he sign a contract to mollify her. In the contract, he promised to make the bed every morning, pick up his clothes, take out the garbage every other day, write a bimonthly letter to his family, fix breakfast every weekend, devote one weekend a month exclusively to his wife, fetch calorie-laden treats...
When the Terrys' first child was born in October 1970, the written contract idea was dropped. Bob, 34, and Jo-Ann, 28, an educator, had learned that equality cannot be legislated.
