...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...
...movie is an adaptation of Simon's Broadway hit, a collection of four one-act plays set in the Beverly Hills Hotel. Rather than film the segments in succession, as Arthur Hiller did in his ill-fated screen version of Simon's Plaza Suite, Ross cuts back and forth among them.

Blue-shirted members of the Fuerza Nueva (New Force), an extreme right-wing group, marched to the site in military formation and mingled with grizzled Civil War veterans and youths with Nazi swastika armbands. Others who crowded into the square were simply ordinary conservatives, nostalgic for days long gone when life seemed more disciplined and predictable...
