Ed, et al,
I am not quite persuaded by the Z-film alteration hypothesis, but if forced to declare, I will come down on the side of alteration.
Here's the problem: When arguing for Z-film fakery, most ardent proponents fail to note that conspiracy in the JFK case has been established independent of Zapruder's indie and its legitimacy.
Z-film legitimacy/fakery is a debate that ultimately speaks to the "who," rather than the "how" of the assassination.
Absent this distinction informing all of your work, you'll get nowhere.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
