51 years ago President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Case not closed at all.

50. Yep.

And apparently, all sorts of tests show that a bullet entering a head from behind will cause exactly the backward explosion seen in the Zapruder film.

The Oliver Stone movie contains some hilariously bad information. Toward the end the Donald Sutherland character is talking to someone and presents the near collapse of the phone system as proof of conspiracy. Well, I can tell you that back then, with the relatively limited number of landlines in existence, any time too many people tried to make a phone call, available lines would all be used up and you wouldn't get a dial tone. It used to happen every year on Mother's Day. I used to be a long distance operator, and we were quite familiar with the problem. And almost every single person in the country was trying to call someone else as soon as they got the news of the assassination, so it was far, far worse than a typical Mother's Day.
