Until then, I think my dad bought a book that is supposed to prove that LBJ was behind it, is that what this show was about?
This show ends up pointing directly at LBJ at the end but it is pimarily about the fact that Oswald and this Judyth were working for a Doctor in the employ of the CIA to find a way to give people cancer to kill them in a way that looked natural rather than violent, to avoid violent repercussions. Oswald was not medically knowledgeable, he was a go between and lab assistant.
As to the 'Love Affair' part, are you sure that was it? I seem to remember that it is two part, the first focusing on Kennedy and the assination, the second on Oswald's lover. From my point of veiw, if there were two parts like that, then I think the second one is a little irrelevant, unless I have massively missunderstood the importance of the supposed lover in the conspiracy of Kennedy's death.
There are about 6 installments in "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" series. They seem to add one or two more each year it airs. The first one came out back in 1988. These are British productions. The one I'm talking about is just one episode, an hour long, and is called: "The Love Affair". This woman who claims to have been his lover is the one who was developing the cancer virus. She was not involved in trying to kill Kennedy, but she corroborates that Oswald was in the employ of the CIA as a low level person, and that it was the CIA who maneuvered him into the circle of another faction of people out to kill Kennedy (the LBJ/Texas oil faction) for the purported purpose of gathering information on that faction, but more likely, in truth, to serve as the fall guy.
One thing is for certain, it wasn't just one bullet, as immortalized in a Seinfeld parody of the incident involving a baseball player's loogey, Kramer, and Newman. LOL, I love Seinfeld!
Two other shows recently completely demolished the magic bullet myth with fantastic computor animation based on the Zapruder film. If you seat Connely where he actually was sitting, six inches to the left of Kennedy, and rotate him slightly to his right, the bullet holes line up in a perfectly straight line from Connelly back through Kennedy back to the 6th floor corner window of the Texas School Book Depository. The reason Connelly is rotated to the right, a position which shows up as clearly as anything on the Zapruder film, is because he just heard the first shot, which as far as anyone can tell missed everything, and he is looking around to see what it was, when the second shot comes through Kennedy, into him, out his chest into his wrist where it's finally deflected to his left thigh.
It never has to do the "magic" zig six inches to the right before entering Connelly's back. The interesting thing is that after exiting Kennedy the slug has started to tumble and actually hits Connelly sideways. That is: the slug hits him, not point first, but side first. The recovered bullet looks "pristine" at first, but if you look at it point on it is noticably flattened on one side, where it hit Connelly. It was a long slug, and had a copper jacket. Some of the lead was squeezed out the front and back of the jacket a small amount from this impact.
The slug came out of him sideways as well, breaking a rib or two in the process which deflected it very slightly downward to his right wrist which he was holding up as he rotated. After breaking his wrist, pretty much the last straw as far as its kinetic energy went, it was deflected sideways to his left thigh.
A guy who interviewed Connelly a fews years after the shooting asked if he could see the scar on his back, and sure enough, it was oblong.
The whole thing was great detective work and proved that the Kennedy/Connelly bullet could not have come from anywhere but the Book Depository, and that it was required to do nothing magic to hit both men causing the wounds they actually had.
However the direction of the fatal headshot to Kennedy wasn't cleared up by any show I saw. The trouble is that 30 odd people at Parkland Hospital in Dallas saw an enormous wound in the back of his head, while official autopsy photos from the "interfered with" autopsy back east show the back of his head intact. Neither version squares with what it looks like in the Zapruder film, which is that the whole right side of his head from above the ear to the middle of the top of his head, and from the hairline on his right temple all the way to the back of his head, appears to be blown off. There don't seem even to be any two agreed upon wounds in his head to argue about which is entrance or exit. This makes it hard to rule out grassy knoll or sewer drain shots.
