Zapruder's "stick-man" was using a walkie-talkie!

Nope.  The Beatles' arrival (and airplay) in America was still a few months off.

And cellphones...

Off-topic but on the Beatles:

"The Beatles' American television debut was on 18 November 1963 on The Huntley-Brinkley Report, with a four-minute long piece by Edwin Newman.[9] On 22 November 1963, the CBS Morning News ran a five-minute feature on Beatlemania in the UK which heavily featured their then current UK hit "She Loves You". The evening's scheduled repeat was cancelled following the assassination of John F. Kennedy the same day. "[/i]

I think when we read the above, this is NOT when they first landed in the states but just a news piece on them.

           Incorrect regarding Airplay

Agreed, The Beatles didn't instantly become famous and suddenly get "airplay" when they landed in America in Feb 1964, the publicity machine was already trying to get bums on seats in the last months of 1963.

The night before the assassination, The Beatles had conquered CBS News with a very long and positive advertorial and were in the process of creating a huge groundswell of interest for their imminent arrival.

Here's the Beatles in America and they were already famous enough for this over the top airport welcome.



And finally Ultimate Classic Rock found Beatles songs that charted @ US Radio stations as early as March 1963.

I ran that same excerpt about 2 or 3 posts above. Maybe I didn't quote another forum member, it was just part of the conversation.

I was actually quoting your words posted earlier... Regardless, his left hand is clearly up to his ear... he's leaning over running, and could very well be using a walkie talkie... He is a person of suspect... It would be good to know more about Robert Foster....

Actually, his left hand is clearly below his ear here. If we are going totally walkie talkie; it would usually be more smug next to the ear like a cell phone.
