Jim, I have to agree with Joseph that I don't go along with Armstrong's scenario of the Tippit murder. Armstrong doesn't deal at all with witnesses who saw two men (no mention of Acquilla Clemons), discrepancies in clothing seen by different witnesses, differences in escape routes (see the interviews with Markham and Callaway in The Men Who Killed Kennedy) or with a car in the alley, and those who had seen Tippit in that neighborhood before (Jimmy Earl Burt calling him "Officer Friendly" for example).
In an otherwise great book, I think JA was trying a little too hard to squeeze "Lee" into every scenario he could.
