I caught this hour-long program, but my head was spinning due to the way today that computer-generated television is created; it's all so fast, why can't it be like it was in 1966, show the films, don't continually inter-cut and grahpic overlay - I taped what I could from the show, but was still disappointed - Shorty

I watched the rephotographed Zapruder film over and over.Frame by frame.I had been a long time believer in in a "conspiracy to hide the truth".HOWEVER,after scrutinising the enhanced Z film-advancing it frame by frame,I am now convinced Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole rifleman.Glad that is clear in my mind after 40 years!Trev

There's a book called "Case Closed" by Gerald Posner which I read that brought me to the same conclusion. A very interesting thing he points out is that when somebody hears a shot, they naturally flinch. If they happen to be shooting movie film hand held at the time, there will be a pulse in the image. He used this to establish the timing and number of the shots.

Say!, I know the FBI still has Abraham Zapruder's camera, does anybody out there have his projector and editor? (With this bunch you never know!)

I wonder, what else was on that roll of film? Was the most important moment ever caught on film immediately following a kid's birthday party or a fishing trip? Did he think about finishing the roll?

I'm still missing two items:

1. Oswald was in custody two days. Where is a transcipt of the interviews?

2. Ruby didn't arrive when Oswald was supposed to leave, but 5 mins before he actually left (an hour late). Was he tipped off?

Carry on conspiring! (Good name for a film?)

I don't see that - After the car went along (after the first shot), the trajectory angle from the school building and the "grassy knoll", made it impossible for Oswald to have shot Kennedy in the temple as it jerked his headup and to the left - The fatal shot came from the knoll area under the street or through the hedgegrove - Shorty

Does anybody have a Super-8 print of JFK? Maybe Oliver Stone and Kevin Costner can help us sort it out.
