...church has 22,000 active members, and Hyles reigns like a benevolent autocrat with a $4.5 million-a-year budget. His salary is a lean $11,000, and he says he plows his substantial book earnings (one of Hyles' 22 books, How To Rear Children, has already brought in over $80,000) back into the ministry. One recent Sunday morning he asked his rapt congregation: "When God decided to make the biggest church in the world, who did he choose to build it? He said, 'I think I'll use old Hyles. He's the crookedest...
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...
Most viewers of the Zapruder film are bothered by two questions that it seems to pose: 1) Why does Connally take so long to show signs of pain if, indeed, he had been hit at almost the same instant as Kennedy? 2) Why, if Kennedy was struck from the rear, does his body move sharply back? The commission's experts explain Connally's delayed reaction (at most, 1.5 seconds) as a quite plausible nervous-system occurrence. He also clings to his hat, despite a wrist wound; the experts contend that his muscles tightened...
...done grisly but practical experiments on Kennedy's head movements. As do other analysts, he notes that the head momentarily moved forward in one frame of the film before jolting more noticeably backward. Lattimer and his sons have fired the Oswald-type gun and ammunition into the rear of human skulls packed with gelatin. He has films to show that in each case the skulls toppled backward off their stands, never forward. Similar tests were conducted with melons by Physicist Luis Alvarez of the University of California, with the same results. Though neither had expected this movement, they theorized...
...single-bullet theory also dwell on the relatively undamaged condition of the bullet recovered near Connally's stretcher at Parkland Hospital. They marvel sarcastically at all of the wounds this bullet is supposed to have inflicted, while remaining so "pristine." The bullet is only slightly flattened at its rear, with a mere 2 to 2.5 grains of its soft lead core missing...
