> There's something else: One my best friends growing up in Dallas was named Henry Zapruder. His father was Abraham Zapruder [the Dallas dressmaker who shot the famous film of the assassination.] I knew the Zapruders very well, and had been in their home many times.

What are the odds of that. Maybe we need something like the Erdős-Number, but for the JFK assasination.

Given the number of people involved it seems likely. It's like the birthday paradox.

Also, given the fact that one was using a video camera (a very expensive hobby back then) and one was a medical student, they were more likely to travel in the same social circles and be closely connected than the average pair of people living in Dallas.

Abraham Zapruder was using an 8mm home movie film camera, not video.
