Thanks,

David, if you're familiar with Prouty, you know that he is the source of the claim in Stone's JFK that there should have been a military presence along the motorcade route. There are video interviews and articles by him where he claims that every window of every building should have been closed and watched, with people on walkie-talkies and rifles ready to pounce on any security violation. Common sense tells you that just wouldn't be possible, but we also have photos and videos of earlier motorcades showing people hanging out of windows. Here's one from Hawaii:

Sorry to link to lone-nutters, but when something is obviously wrong, we shouldn't waste any more time on it.
Just because you like someone, doesn't mean they're right about everything and knowledgeable about every subject.
