The Saturday Survey is back in Forgotten Hits ...
THE CHART:
60 YEARS AGO TODAY ...
11/25/63 – The funeral for President John F. Kennedy is held in Washington, DC, after which his body is moved to Arlington National Cemetery. It is broadcast on live television around the world
Also on 11/25 – The funerals for Lee Harvey Oswald and Officer J.D. Tippit are held in Fort Worth and Dallas, Texas, respectively
Also on 11/25 – Abraham Zapruder sold all rights to his 8-mm film of the Kennedy assassination to Life Magazine for $150,000 (about $1.5 million in today's dollars) to be paid out in installments of $25,000 per year until complete. Two days later, Zapruder donated the payment of his first $25,000 to the widow of Officer J. D. Tippit.
This says a lot about Mr. Zapruder and his integrity. The median income in 1963 was about $6500 a year. Even a $25,000 a year pay-out could have made him a wealthy man ... but this selfless act speaks volumes.
Over the course of years, Life will run frame-by-frame graphic photos of the assassination, leading to considerably more speculation as to where the fatal shot originated from.
