Until the television program Dallas debuted in 1978, Dealey Plaza, the assassination site, was the most popular tourist attraction in town. Now the most popular place to see is Southfork, the ranch where Dallas is set. Fred Meyer, chairman of the Dallas County Republican Party, finds an offensive image here. "When the No. 1 tourist attraction is a fictional location of a fictional TV show," Meyer says, "that's a powerful argument that there is a lack of knowledge about Dallas" Dallas Mayor A. Starke Taylor Jr. wants to send forth a truer picture too. "There are places...
...body after it left Dallas long enough to retrieve the actual lethal bullets; these, Lifton says, were fired from the front of the motorcade in Dealey Plaza, not from the book depository behind the presidential convertible. The schemers, Lifton continues, enlarged Kennedy's head wound to conceal evidence that he had been shot from the front; they added two back wounds, which had not been seen by some 13 nurses and doctors handling the body at Parkland.

After examining the tape, an acoustics expert told the committee that there was a "50% chance" that someone besides Lee Harvey Oswald had fired one shot at the President from the famous "grassy knoll." Two other sound experts enthusiastically raised the chances to "95% or better...
...committee's bewildering finding rested almost solely on one fact: acoustics experts who examined a tape recording of sounds made in Dallas' Dealey Plaza on Nov. 22, 1963, testified that they can detect four shots being fired and that one came from the grassy knoll lying ahead of the President's limousine. The committee insisted that Oswald's second and third shots hit Kennedy from behind, while the mysterious second gunman missed...
That does not, however, rule out Wecht's theory that more than one gunman may have been firing from the rear, two shots striking Kennedy and a third inflicting Connally's wounds. Since most witnesses in Dealey Plaza thought they had heard three shots (a minority estimated four, a few five), the FBI and the Warren Commission staff at first had also assumed that three separate shots had inflicted the wounds on Kennedy and Connally, though they thought one rifleman could have done all of the shooting. The Zapruder film and the known characteristics of Oswald...
