Not Plausable

Bonnie and Clyde: Fightin' against "the man" in 1930's America.

Sure, you could say that former terrorist Bill Ayres is now an "English Professor" and has reformed himself from his wild antics in the 1960's. You could also say it in the same way that other people would describe the older european gentleman who lived down the street from you, who was later picked up and deported by the authorities because he turned out to be an SS guard at a concentration camp.

"Nice man, kept to himself mostly, never much trouble, always said hello in the morning, never mentioned the war..."

You could even make the case that you really didn't know about the seditious background of the man that you now dismiss as an "english professor", who was in fact actually plotting and carring out plans to kill Americans back when you were just a "spinach chinned" babe waiting for the next episode of "winky-dink and you".

But if in 1988, you had a summer job with a prestigious law firm and the woman sitting in the corner office was the wife of the the same man, and she herself was an avowed terrorist of noteworthy status herself, don't you think you might remember that? Are you really going to tell me that no one in that entire law firm didnt blurt that out after work while sitting around and drinking down the 6th beer of the evening, down at the corner tavern?

Especially if thats the time and place where you met your future wife?

If I was a hitchiker in Texas during the 1930's and Bonnie and Clyde picked me up on the side of the road and in the process of our adventure I managed to meet my future wife, I think I'd remember Clyde and his profession if someone mentioned his name to me later on.

Somewhere at this law firm there are time cards, memos and various notes from 1988. Imagine how much you could get on Ebay for an interoffice memo or any of the sort of daily office ephemera that is surely kept in the "vault" that has all three of their names on it at the same time.

What I find most implausible is that today, in that entire law firm, there isn't a single employee, staff or associate who as a Clinton supporter isn't willing to do just a little digging in the backroom storage lockers...
