Roger DeLaria Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 When I click on the link, a new browser opens with the story, and the page keeps refreshing every 3-4 seconds. I can't read it. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a review of it BTW: https://kennedysandking.com/john-f-kennedy-reviews/alexandra-zapruder-26-seconds-a-personal-history-of-the-zapruder-film-part-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far there have been 187 views of the article by forum members, which apparently means something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Andrews Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the articles you post, Douglas. It is perhaps hard to summon much sympathy for the Zapruders. A lot of people suffered because of JFK's death; few profited directly. Edited December 3, 2017 by David Andrews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant was that story was simply a fluff piece for her to sell her book, which is not an entirely honest analysis of the film. Yes, I'm sure her family had an interesting journey with the film but it doesn't tell the whole story about what's IN the film. You can find a multi-part critique of the book on Jim DiEugenio's website. That's what I mean about not bothering to read the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He whines that no one pays any attention to his topics. He has basically given-up posting topics, only having posted one this year, and has instead taken to mulling around like a outcast kid on a playground, kicking around and ridiculing other kids activities because no-on wants to play with him. http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/profile/7252-michael-walton/?do=content&type=forums_topic&change_section=1 Edited December 3, 2017 by Michael Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on that page in the lede, it pretty much says it all about how much you'll actually learn from it. In other words, not much... The first in a two-part installment in which Jeff Carter reviews a book that "reveals some new – albeit not earth-shattering – information", but is also "imbued with a certain partisanship, not limited to family interests, which dulls the author’s critical thinking in some key areas.
