JFK Death film at the 6th Floor Museum
Bonanza for the 6th Floor Museum, Dallas TX: Abraham Zapruder's family has donated their last original duplicate of the 8 mm film of the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. The museum is in the old Texas Book Depository building, offering the original sniper's eye view of Dealy Plaza. The museum is rightly proud to take stewardship of this national treasure, and promise not to exploit it in any unseemly way. Please note that in 1999, they installed an automated web cam (up to 12 preset positions!) in the Lee Harvey Oswald window, drawing formal protests from Ted Kennedy and others . . .
