Marlene,
Thank you for your intervention and for your important reminder about free speech.
I honestly believe that Robert Dallek is a good presidential historian. He has made important inroads into our understanding of JFK's Vietnam policy. He is a cut above such popular historians as Robert Caro and Doris Kearns Goodwin, who are guilty of omitting from the historical record the criminal activities of Lyndon Johnson. By contrast, Dallek's book An Unfinished Life is a substantial work of scholarship that adds to our knowledge of JFK's presidency. It is deplorable that Dallek does not address the assassination with integrity. But that lapse does not invalidate his other research contributions. I expressed my views on Dallek on another thread, and Albert Doyle ridiculed me on that thread and now uses my opinions on Dallek to discredit my views on the Zapruder film. All the while, he offers no evidence of having read a single line written by Dallek. This is wrong.
Now, if we may get the thread back on track with Bob's posting of the photos of James Cheney, I would offer this observation as food for thought:
In photo #4, we see that James Chaney has advanced on his motorcycle about 1/4 of a mile down the Stemmons Freeway. He is leading the entourage of vehicles to Parkland Hospital. The large Hertz sign above the TSBD still indicates the time of 12:30. If the gunfire began on Elm Street shortly after 12:30, this means that if there was a limo stop, it had to be brief, as we see the limousine barreling down Stemmons in photo #4. It also means that in less than a minute, James Chaney passed the limousine on the right, stopped briefly to speak with Chief Curry in the pilot car, before proceeding down the Stemmons freeway.
Based on the 12:30 time indicated on the Hertz sign, Chaney should be visible in both the Nix and Zapruder films, as he passes the limousine on the right. That was precisely what he claimed happened, as indicated in his interview that appears on youtube. Yet, as Bob indicates, the Nix film depicts Chaney well in back of the limousine during the shooting.
The granddaughter of Orville Nix (Gayle Nix Jackson) has recently gone on the record by saying that she believes that when the government confiscated Nix's film, it was returned with splices. According to Gayle, frames of the film had clearly been deleted. Well, here is an example of what frames may have been omitted: Arguably, during a brief limo stop, James Chaney passes the limousine.
This is one of many aberrational elements with the Nix and Zapruder films, indicating tampering with this essential photographic evidence.

, how would they go about concealing a motorcycle passing the limousine when it stopped, and second, as many have asked, what would be the purpose of concealing this movement?
