Discovery Channel's 'The Lost Tapes' was pretty good. It followed the assassination via recorded transmissions. What struck me the most about it was Clint Hill's transparent holding back from saying he saw a huge void in the back of Kennedy's head. What is plainly obvious to anyone watching Hill's comments is his avoidance of saying there was a large wound in the back of the head and obvious missing brain. Instead he said "Kennedy was obviously 'hit' in the back of the head" and did exactly what Dr Jones did, gesturing to the back of the head in the precise location Dr Jones did. Further along Hill said Kennedy's wounds were obviously unsurvivable, but you could tell he was refraining from saying "I could see most of his brains were blown out the back of his head".
Turner Classic Movies is having a JFK Night. 'Primary' was an interesting film documentation of JFK's Wisconsin campaign against Humphrey. 'Adventures On The New Frontier' was a film documentary of Kennedy's daily business in the White House in Cinema verite form. After director Robert Drew and DA Pennebaker did a good job on 'Primary' JFK trusted them for the White House film. What was interesting about this film is it really emphasized how important Kennedy's Africa policy was.
