Narrated by Walter Cronkite Can modern science and technology help solve the most famous murder mystery of this century? Now, 25 years after the assassination, veteran newsman Walter Cronkite focuses on those major questions, raised by critics of the 'lone gunman' conclusion, that relate to the physical evidence - ballistics, acoustics, photography, autopsy records. Could one man, acting alone, do all that Lee Harvey Oswald was said to have done? What of the eye- and ear-witness testimony that suggests there was a second gunman? And what of shocking, recent claims that wounds were altered to cover up a conspiracy? Startling new findings emerge in this special investigation made by the American scientific series Nova.
