Pauline Kael’s 1973 review in the New Yorker is still on the rotten tomatoes site.  It says it all.

and I don’t post links as I’ve had concerns what might be hidden inside them by, well….

JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: Plumlee: LHO was trying to reach not only John Hurt but Edward Gibson Moore, CIA

Why does anybody believe anything that Tosh Plumlee says?

That said, the call to Hurt is mysterious. What would be the purpose of some conspirator giving Oswald Hurt's number? What was supposed to happen if he actually was able to reach him? Hurt was on permanent disability from work, was a raging alcoholic and would have been of less than zero use to a person who was facing death row for two murders...

The Hurt call has been covered best at McAdams’ ‘Bogus Evidence’ section.  In fact, all theories have been covered pretty much there, and DVP, and Reitzes, dang these guys spent a lot of time on this.  Time well spent +

Don't waste your time on this guy, Steve. He has been peddling the laughable "Hickey did it" crap on multiple forums and newsgroups for the past many years.

……… and then, there’s (sigh) Lambchop.

you know about Lambchop, don’t you, mssr. Shanks?  Should me tell you about it?

But a great shout-out to Robin Unger, the man, the blood of the best JFK imagery on the internet !

JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / Re: Lee Bowers on the Timing of Shots on 11.22
« Last post by Benjamin Cole on Today at 04:19:46 AM »
MTG-

Yes, the consensus, as seen in a credible recorded witness such as Bowers, is that the last two shots were in rapid succession.

As the TSBD sniper (I suspect it was LHO) was armed with a single-shot-per-bolt-action rifle, that is one reason that the LNT is implausible.

There are other reasons, such the scent of gunsmoke in GK area in the immediate aftermath of the JFKA, Sam Holland's account with visible gunsmoke in the GK, and Gov. JBC's testimony that he was struck by a separate shot from the one that struck JFK, testimony with which his wife concurred.

I have never been able to make head-nor-tails out of the acoustic evidence.

However, Blakey of the HSCA said the acoustics evidence was only one factor in their estimation that there was a probability of a JFKAC, and of a gunshot from the GK.

We disagree on the extent of the JFKAC, and that is fine. I suspect small conspiracy of anti- or pro-Castro Cubans who worked with or manipulated LHO. Maybe just two other people.

But that's just my IMHO. Caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions.

The rod is not going to touch the chalk mark in any view unless you want to skewer the agent representing JFK. I don't know why you have a problem with what Specter did.

The rod being above the chalk mark in the left view makes no sense to me. It does not fit with the sworn testimony of Shaneyfelt. It make no sense to raise it above the chalk mark in order to represent the correct lateral angle of the path of the bullet through Kennedy. That's why I asked John Mytton if it could be a photographic perspective issue that we're dealing with here.

The rod does not touch the chalk mark in the right side view. It is off to the right of it. It makes no sense at all to me to raise the rod above the level of the chalk mark in order to get the correct lateral path.

How else would he do it? If he moved it to the side of the chalk mark, he would be changing the diagonal of the shot substantially. The only way to show the true bullet path would be to skewer the agent in JFK's place. By placing the rod above and slightly right of the chalk mark, he could approximate the diagonal of the bullet path.

The left and right views show the plausibility of the SBT without duplicating it exactly. They would have had to use dummies and run the rod through the one representing JFK to get an exact trajectory. I think what they did was sufficient to show the bullet path.

This is not hard to figure out. Specter could either put the rod above the chalk mark in which case the right to left diagonal of the bullet path would be correct but the downward angle to steep, or he could put the rod to the right of the chalk mark in which cast the downward angle would be correct but the right to left diagonal would be too severe. It's clear from the left hand view he had the rod above the chalk mark. We can't see the chalk mark in the right hand view but it appears to be at the level of the chalk mark and to the right of it.

Why would Specter need to put the rod above the chalk mark in order to demonstrate the correct right to left diagonal of the bullet path?
