Here is the URL: http://www.accessone.com/~rivero/POLITICS/JFK/jfk.html Be sure to allow this entire document to download first, then press RELOAD, so that the frame sequencing can proceed from your hard disk, rather than the wait for your modem to download all that data. The man who annotated these frames missed one figure I consider to be one of the most important eyewitnesses to JFK's assassination. Within a one-second window of the fatal shot to JFK's cranium, a woman with a Polaroid camera snapped a photo of JFK, from the left side of the road, looking straight into the gun sight of the rifle which fired the fatal shot from the grassy knoll. The "Polaroid Woman" first comes into partial view at frame Z.290, and then full view at frame Z.291. Remember that Abraham Zapruder is panning his camera, so you must attribute some of the apparent "motion" to camera movement. You can see this woman lift her camera to her face, and the one photo she took was snapped around frame Z.300, or very soon thereafter. As Abraham Zapruder continues to pan right, Polaroid Woman goes off the viewfinder at frame Z.303. Now, we need to find an Internet version of that Polaroid photo. There is also a photo- enhanced version which I saw on public television, many years ago. For the life of me, I will never be able to remember the channel or title of that program. But, I do remember that the staff tracked down a man who was in that photo, standing on the grassy knoll not far behind Abraham Zapruder and in front of the picket fence. He later stated that he heard a high-velocity bullet whizz right past his left ear. That bullet passed right between Zapruder and this man, to enter the president's cranium at the right temple. /s/ Paul Mitchell http://www.supremelaw.com ======================================================================== Paul Andrew Mitchell : Counselor at Law, federal witness B.A., Political Science, UCLA; M.S., Public Administration, U.C.
