I hear what Tom is saying, and this only puzzles me further. Dan Rather, who viewed the Zapruder film shortly after the assassination, did not describe the "back and to the left" motion of JFK but, rather, describes how the fatal head shot seemed to drive JFK forward. As it took decades and a film expert to detect a tiny amount of forward motion at z312, I seriously doubt Mr. Rather was referring to this.
Another thing Mr. Rather says in his description of the Zapruder film, and this was totally unprompted, is "...the limo never stopped...", as if it was necessary to mention this. Was any CT'er actually saying, two days after the assassination, that the limo had stopped?

Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
