Numbers that matter: Baylor at Oklahoma State

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><img src="http://images.eplayer.performgroup.com/namedImage/12637/install_flash.gif" width="600"/> </p><br /><p>It's not going to take long to find out whether or not Baylor is worthy of its No. 3 ranking in the AP Poll.</p><br /><p>No. 3 Baylor (9-0) travels to face No. 11 Oklahoma State (9-1) on Saturday with the Big XII - and perhaps more - in the balance. The Bears haven't won in Stillwater since 1939.</p><br /><p><strong>MORE: Week 13 picks | Top 10 late-season BCS upsets | Top rivalries</strong> </p><br /><p>Recent history speaks more favorably for the Bears. Since Art Briles arrived in 2008, Baylor averages 37.6 points per game, sixth most in the FBS.</p><br /><p>The problem is the Cowboys can play that game. Oklahoma State ranks second in the same stretch with 41.4 points per game, and it's safe to say Mike Gundy won't turn down an invitation to a shootout.</p><br /><p>Both teams can score. Which team will get a stop or two?</p><br /><p>Let's go inside the numbers to find out.</p><br />Series<br /><p>Oklahoma State won the first meeting 60-0 in 1914 and holds an 18-13 advantage. The teams have met every year since Baylor joined the Big XII in 1996, and the Cowboys have a 15-2 record against the Bears since.</p><br />Marquee matchups<br /><p>This marks just the third time both teams had winning records in November when they met. Oklahoma State did beat Baylor 24-14 in the 1983 Bluebonnet Bowl.</p><br /><p><strong>FIRST-AND-10: Win final two games on road and Heisman belongs to Manziel</strong> </p><br />Signature win: No. 19 Oklahoma State 55, No. 22 Baylor 28 (2010)<br /><p>This is the only time both teams were ranked. Brandon Weeden out-dueled future Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III. The Cowboys built a 24-0 halftime lead, and Justin Blackmon finished with 173 receiving yards.</p><br />Signature win: Baylor 41, No. 24 Oklahoma State 34 (2012)<br /><p>Briles picked up his first win against the Cowboys and broke a six-game losing streak in the series. The game is best remembered for Lache Seastrunk's 76-yard TD run in which he pulled his hamstring.</p><br />Art Briles on the road<br /><p>The Bears haven't made a statement on the road yet. Baylor is 0-10 against ranked teams on the road under Briles, and that includes three losses in Stillwater.</p><br />Mike Gundy at home<br /><p>Boone Pickens Stadium is a landmine - the Cowboys are 44-13 at home under Gundy. That record dips to just 8-10, however, against ranked teams.</p><br />Key matchup: Antwan Goodley vs. Justin Gilbert<br /><p>This is as good as it gets. Goodley leads Baylor with 1,075 yards, 11 TDs and 22.4 yards per reception. Gilbert has six of Oklahoma State's Big XII-best 19 interceptions. Gilbert had two interceptions, including a 43-yard pick six, against Texas last week.</p><br /><p><strong>MORE: Top 10 head coaching jobs | Bowl projections | 6 undefeated teams</strong> </p><br />Key matchup: Clint Chelf vs. Baylor defensive line<br /><p>Chelf does an excellent job of getting the ball out on time; he's taken just three sacks. Baylor ranks eighth in the nation with 28 sacks, led by defensive ends Chris McAllister (5.5) and Jamal Palmer (4.0). Can the Bears get enough inside-out pressure against Chelf?</p><br />On the spot: Shock Linwood, RB, Baylor<br /><p>Seastrunk's status is in doubt because of a groin injury, so Linwood needs to step up. Linwood totaled 52 carries for 369 yards the last two weeks against Oklahoma and Texas Tech. Expect another 20-plus carries against an Oklahoma State defense that allows just 3.5 yards per carry.</p><br />On the spot: Oklahoma State receivers<br /><p>Blackmon and Dez Bryant torched Baylor in the past, but Oklahoma State's top two receivers - Josh Stewart and Tracy Moore - aren't that breed of down-field superstar. It's more of a committee effort - nine different Cowboys have a receiving TD. They'll still need a handful of vertical shots, however, to keep pace with the Bears.</p><br />Stat that matters: Yards per play<br /><p>Baylor's all-around offensive statistics are ridiculous. The Bears average 8.3 yards per play. Oklahoma State checks in at 5.7 yards per play. The Cowboys and Bears were both at 6.8 yards per play last season. If the Bears average 8.3 yards or more in this game, it's over.</p><br />Stat that matters: Yards per point<br /><p>This stat determines which teams make the most of their scoring opportunities. For example, Florida State is No. 1 at 10.0 yards per point. The Cowboys rank second (11.2) and the Bears are fifth (11.4). Both teams are going to gobble up yardage. Baylor can't afford to miss in plus territory.</p><br />Bottom line<br /><p>We've made it this far without mentioning Bryce Petty. This is the Baylor quarterback's signature moment. He has the numbers, including a 24:1 TD:INT ratio and 10 rushing TDs. Can he end 74 years of losing in Stillwater? A win here buys Petty more Heisman hype and the Bears a little bit closer to a possible berth in the BCS Championship Game. The numbers lean slightly toward Oklahoma State, but Baylor finds a way in a thriller.</p><br /></div>

My big brother started watching some strange programs in the evening on PBS. One of them was "Monty Python's Flying Circus." The other was "Doctor Who." I wanted to do everything my brother did, so I started staying up and watching them, too.</div><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19.984375px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></div><div class="post" style="border: 0px; float: left; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 620px;"><div class="postBody txtWrap" section="txt" style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 620px;"><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">They say the first Doctor you see is your Doctor. Mine is Tom Baker, him of the wide grin, long scarf, and floppy hat. I can't help but feel it was a special experience to watch those episodes before ever knowing where special effects would advance to some day. I never thought twice about a monster being made out of painted bubble wrap or a green screen leaving raggedy edges around the actors' hair.</div><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I would imagine that blue police box materializing in the misty rains of Oregon and me jumping onboard. It made me consider history and all of time and space, and where I would go if only I could catch a ride with the Doctor. I didn't just want to be a companion, I wanted to be a Time Lady.</div><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Classic "Who" revisited</b><br />I have recently been re-watching all of the Tom Baker episodes. My fears that the series wouldn't hold up visually have been largely unfounded. Sure, there's the occasional jarring green screen, and the bubble-wrap monster from "The Ark in Space" is still obviously bubble-wrapped. But overall, the look is remarkably good and the enthusiasm of the actors carries them right through any budget-related issues.</div><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Somewhere around college I lost my hold on "Who." There hadn't been a new episode in years. The 1996 TV movie was a bit of a disappointment. At the time, I criticized it for having too large of a budget. But nothing can keep the good Doctor down, and, in 2005, I found ninth Doctor Christopher Eccleston beckoning to me. He reminded me of some of my favorite qualities from Tom Baker in a smartly modern package. I was hooked on "Who" once again.</div><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Onward, Doctor</b><br />I effortlessly crossed the bridge between classic "Who" and new "Who." Streaming Internet video opened up unprecedented access to episodes from across the entire history of the series. I was dreaming about the Tardis, Earth history, and alien planets once again. Looking ahead, I am excited to welcome 12th Doctor Peter Capaldi into the fold.</div><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></div><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">One of the great side effects of the popularity of the new series is the flood of fun, entertaining, and sometimes just plain weird merchandise. Gold Dalek Mr. Potato Head, anyone? All I could find in my earlier "Who" days were comic books and magazines. Now, I snuggle into my fuzzy blue Tardis bathrobe every night and I've been measuring my house to see where I could fit a Tardis rug.</div><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I lurk around the <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/doctorwho/" style="border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">"Doctor Who" section of Reddit</a> for news, analysis, and fan art. I have vague plans to build the ultimate expression of Whovianism: a life-size Tardis. I may be an adult, but I still hope to hear that familiar grinding sound as a blue box materializes nearby and the Doctor pops out. I would be ready to go along, and I would absolutely say, "It's bigger on the inside!" even though I already know.</div><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">My scarf is ready to be unfurled.

'We are pleased that AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile have decided to stop the flow of money from the pockets of ordinary people to the bank accounts of scam artists. We're hopeful the other carriers will soon follow their lead.'</p><br /><p>In a statement, Verizon Wireless general counsel William B. Peterson said that 'while we don't agree with all of the Attorney General's allegations, we respect his efforts in this area.'</p><br /><p>'For years, Verizon has been vigilant in protecting our customers from bad actors. There have been numerous times we have terminated programs and in some cases have taken aggressive legal action in order to ensure our customers were protected,' Peterson continued. 'Since premium messaging was first introduced, technology advances and smartphone adoption have dramatically changed the way customers access information.'</p><br /><p>Verizon already decided to stop supporting PSMS due to the 'improper conduct' of third parties, and 'we are in the process of winding down our premium messaging business,' Peterson said. 'Verizon will, however, continue to support text-to-donate for charitable programs and text-to-contribute for political campaigns that use this technology.'</p><br /><p>AT&T and T-Mobile will also continue to allow charitable donations to be billed via PSMS. 'Sprint was unable to confirm if they will do so at this time,' Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson said in his own statement, but a Sprint spokeswoman said later that 'we do expect charitable giving SMS to remain available for our customers.'</p><br /><p>'Despite protections and processes put in place by T-Mobile and the industry, not all premium text message (SMS) vendors have acted responsibly,' T-Mobile said in a note on its website. 'After careful evaluation of the program, T-Mobile is now in the process of protecting our customers from being billed for premium SMS services - except for charitable and political giving - as soon as possible, with as little impact as possible to our customers.'</p><br /><p>Standard text-messaging programs, like voting for <i>American Idol</i>, will not be impacted by the change, T-Mobile said.</p><br /><p>According to AG Sorrell, cell phone cramming on landlines and cell phones costs Americans about $2 billion per year. A May report from his office found that 60 percent of third-party charges on the mobile phone bills of Vermonters were unauthorized.</p><br /><p>Back in 2011, the Federal Communications Commission formally unveiled rules to combat phone cramming, and in April, the Federal Trade Commission filed its first case against phone crammers who added bogus charges to users' mobile phone bills.</p><br /><p>But it didn't stop there. Just yesterday, the FTC announced a nearly $11 million settlement with an Atlanta-based company that spammed cell phones with unauthorized texts, resulting in more than $10 million in unwanted charges.</p><br /><p>For more, check out 6 Tips for Avoiding Mobile Text Scams.</p><br /><i>Editor's Note: This story was updated at 12:50 p.m. ET with comment from Sprint.</i></div>

She said the teacher and Chism were talking about China but, at some point, Ritzer mentioned the student's home state of Tennessee.</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph3" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">Chism became "visibly upset," the student said. When Ritzer noticed that Chism was upset, she changed the subject, said the unidentified student, who described Chism as "talking to himself."</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph4" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">The affidavit, in chilling detail, offers the first hint of a possible motive in last month's gruesome killing of the popular high school teacher. Ritzer, 24, was allegedly raped with an object and had her throat slashed. A handwritten note found next to her body said, "I hate you all."</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph4" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;"></div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph5" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">A Massachusetts grand jury on Thursday indicted Chism, 14, on charges of murder, aggravated rape and armed robbery in connection with Ritzer's slaying on October 22, according to the Essex district attorney. Citing Massachusetts law, prosecutors said they would ask that Chism be tried in an adult court.</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph6" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">"The indictments ... detail horrific and unspeakable acts," District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said in a statement.</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph7" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">Denise Regan, Chism's public defender, declined to comment.</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph8" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">The affidavit includes testimony from eyewitnesses as well as a school video surveillance timeline showing Chism and Ritzer in the same area of the school during the teacher's final moments.</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph9" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">In the video, Ritzer appears to enter a second-floor girls restroom -- apparently a faculty restroom was occupied -- and Chism, wearing gloves and red sweatshirt with the hood pulled over his head, appears to enter the restroom about a minute later, according to the affidavit.</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph10" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">Shortly after, a female student enters the bathroom and quickly walks out, according to court papers. She told investigators she saw the back of a person who appeared to be changing clothes. The person's rear was exposed, with clothes piled on the floor.</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph11" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">The video shows Chism leaving the restroom, returning later with a recycling barrel, and again leaving the restroom pulling the barrel -- this time with a black mask on his forehead, the court papers say. He pulls the barrel outside the building and toward the student parking lot. Investigators said there are what appear to be blood stains near the bathroom as well as on Chism's pants in the video.</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph12" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">After Chism was reported missing by his mother on the evening of October 22, police had his cellular phone company "ping" the location of his phone. The phone was found to be in the vicinity of the Hollywood Hits Theater, where investigators learned the teen had purchased a movie ticket and then left.</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph13" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">The affidavit said that when Chism was spotted by a police officer the next day, he was carrying a knife. A search of his backpack turned up a bloodstained box cutter. Asked where the blood came from, Chism allegedly responded: "The girl." He was also carrying credit cards and driver's licenses belonging to Ritzer, as well as a pair of woman's underwear.</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph14" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">Police discovered Ritzer's body in a wooded area near the school, covered with leaves and debris in an apparent attempt to conceal it, the court papers said. Her throat was slit.</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph15" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">The green recycling bin seen in the surveillance video was found 20 yards from the body. Clothing and other belongings were scattered near the body, along with blood soaked gloves Chism appeared to be wearing in the video. The handwritten "I hate you all" note was folded near her body, according to the documents.</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph16" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">Investigators used the affidavit to secure a warrant to search Chism's home.</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph17" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">Chism's mother, Diana, told investigators that she recently moved to Massachusetts from Tennessee amid a "stressful divorce" from the teen's father.</div><div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph18" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">Documents filed in a Tennessee court 12 years ago shed light on a troubled relationship.

Kennedy had been assassinated. Today, it’s official that no one under 50 can, or ever will, remember that moment. But I bet a great many people who are too young to have experienced the cataclysm of JFK’s murder can remember where they were the first time they saw the Zapruder film. Because for anyone too young to remember the assassination, that 26-second, 486-frame little home movie — the film that has been viewed more than any other film since the medium of film was invented — isn’t just the looking glass we pass through each time we think about the JFK assassination; it’s not just how the assassination lives inside our minds. The Zapruder film expresses the meaning that the killing of JFK has acquired. As shocking a tragedy as it was, tearing a black hole in the nation’s psyche, the assassination would have been, without the Zapruder film, an event that belonged to the past. Over time, however, the killing of JFK became more than the savage murder of a leader: It became, through conspiracy theory, a metaphor for the larger breakdown of our world. And it’s the images from that film that have kept JFK’s assassination alive as a bad dream we’re still trying to wake up from.<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span id="more-276700" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: arial; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">I remember the first time I saw it. It was in 1975, on the late-night ABC program <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Good Night America</em> — which was, in fact, the first time the Zapruder film had ever been shown on network television. Frames of it, of course, had been published in <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Life</em> magazine, one of whose editors, Richard B. Stolley, purchased the film directly from Abraham Zapruder in the days following the assassination. But when you consider the place that the Zapruder film now occupies in our world, it’s extraordinary to consider that no one basically saw it until the middle of the 1970s, after Richard Nixon was out of office. Arriving on network when it did, on the heels of the televised bloodbath of Vietnam and the televised conspiracy of Watergate, the Zapruder film, with its grainy, blunt, ugly-beautiful, and enigmatic images, made you feel like it was something that had been locked up in a vault for a reason, as if that little film possessed secrets nearly radioactive in their potency. Now the time had come to view those secrets. It felt like the ultimate forbidden movie — a snuff film that was also the missing puzzle piece in some vérité noir. In 1975, as I settled into my family’s living room to watch it, I felt, for the first time, the feeling that has preceded every viewing of the Zapruder film that I’ve undertaken ever since. It’s a fusion of mystery and horror and awe that says: “I will watch this film — and when it is over, I will <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">know</em>.”</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: arial; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">Know what? Who killed John F. Kennedy? As the Zapruder film unspools, we see that Dallas roadway, so open and optimistic in an early-’60s way, and then the motorcade rolling forward, led by the president’s car glinting in the sun, and then there’s a moment of amateur photography so telling that it’s nearly poetic: The car drives behind that road sign, so that its movement is obscured for about three seconds — and as soon as it emerges from behind the sign, JFK is already pulling his hands up toward his throat, a reaction to the second bullet. In other words: The first gunshot to hit Kennedy is off camera, as if someone didn’t want us to see it. I don’t mean that literally (<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">was Abraham Zapruder in on the conspiracy?</em>), yet that’s the effect of the film as you’re watching it.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: arial; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">The haunting enigma of the Zapruder film begins with the fact that four American presidents have been assassinated and five others have been the victim of failed assassination attempts (that’s nine attempts out of 44 presidents — a disturbingly high percentage), and in almost every case, we know who did it. Yet the only fatal assassination that was caught on film — in broad daylight, in queasy Kodak color, with the blood and brain matter directly in front of us — surrounds what is still the greatest mystery of the 20th century. We watch the Zapruder film, and it seems to show us just what happened, yet somehow what it shows isn’t enough. After you’ve seen it enough times, you can start to wish that it had more frames — that maybe the ultimate clue lies in<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">between</em> the frames. Arriving as it did, after years of conspiracy theories about who killed Kennedy, which it only continued to inspire, the Zapruder film mocks our desire for closure, since what it suggests is that the more we see, the less we know. Welcome to the dawn — the <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ur</em>-moment — of the media age.</div><div class="kicker-link" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold !important; line-height: 20px; padding: 5px 12px 12px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase; vertical-align: baseline;">GET EW ON YOUR TABLET</span>: <a href="https://subscription.ew.com/storefront/subscribe-to-entertainment-weekly/link/1006697.html" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgb(255, 94, 153); color: #24bcc8; text-decoration: none;">Subscribe today and get instant access!</a></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: arial; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">It’s no accident that Oliver Stone made the showing of the Zapruder film during the Clay Shaw/Jim Garrison trial in 1969 — the first time it had ever been shown in public — the climactic centerpiece of <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">JFK</em>. After all of <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">JFK</em>‘s pathways of baroque paranoia, what the movie’s evidence came down to was: “Back…and to the left.” That’s the direction the president’s head snapped, which “meant,” of course, that there had to be a bullet coming from the right — that is, from the grassy knoll. The ballistics were superficially compelling yet finally dubious. (Just ask anyone who’s a police officer.) Yet the real point may have been that the Zapruder film converts the JFK assassination into a ghostly work of art, and in doing so, it allowed our culture to recast the assassination as a thriller with a resolution always hanging just out of view. Watching Kennedy’s head blown apart, you realize that nothing will ever make sense of what you’re watching. And so for those of us who’ve always viewed the JFK assassination through the lens of those 26 seconds, conspiracy theory begins not with the live-on-TV murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, or with the questioning of the Warren Commission Report, but with the inexplicability of the horror of seeing Kennedy destroyed out of nowhere.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: arial; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">Under the spell of <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">JFK</em>, which I still think is a dazzling cinematic testament to how the JFK assassination echoes in the cave of our imaginations, I became, for a while, your typical, <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">yeah, it must have happened that way</em>conspiracy theorist, convinced that one of those tireless investigators must surely be right, that the government, or the underworld, or the Cubans, or <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">some</em> interlocking network of power was responsible for the murder of JFK. Yet the more I consumed and the more I read, the more I began to believe what I now believe fully: that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. And that the power of conspiracy theory feeds a need in us as surely as those conspiracies are almost always wrong. If you want to re-experience the Kennedy assassination in a way that will box your mind open, you could, I suppose, watch Stone’s epic labyrinth again, but what I recommend is that you get a hold of Robert Stone’s fantastic documentary <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Oswald’s Ghost</em> (2007), which is a study of how conspiracy theory works. Stone interviews everyone from Mark Lane to Robert Dallek, but the film’s on-screen bard is Norman Mailer, in one of his last interviews, discussing how he evolved, over a period of decades, from passionate conspiracy nut to old-school Oswald-as-lone-gunman rationalist. To watch this movie is to go through the looking glass and then come back through the other side.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: arial; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">Regarding JFK, I happen to have a conspiracy theory of my own. It is, of course, a cliché to say that when a tragedy like the JFK assassination occurs, with a great man cut down potentially at random, most us can’t deal with the meaninglessness of it — with the fact that such a vital and important leader could meet his fate at the hands of a mentally unhinged nobody like Lee Harvey Oswald. Surely, we say, the very course of America <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">can’t</em>have been shifted by this one trivial madman. And so, to ease our pain and lend meaning to the universe, we create conspiracies — grand motivations for murder — that are commensurate with the size of the man cut down. We invent conspiracy theory because, on some deep level, it comforts us.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: arial; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">In the case of JFK, though, it’s hard to be comforted, since the <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">real</em> conspiracy, I would wager, is us. Here, I think, is the true meaning of the Zapruder film. The film has become a kind of ritual — a flickering black-mass newsreel in 8mm grain — and what you feel in your guts as it unspools is that we may not know who killed John F. Kennedy, but what we <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">do</em> know, watching the profound horror of that act, is that he was killed by something larger than Lee Harvey Oswald. He was killed by a <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">force</em>. And that’s why we want to say that it was the CIA, or the Mob, or what have you.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: arial; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">But there are other kinds of forces at work in the world. Oswald may have been a nobody, but he was a very distinct and contradictory nobody: a left-wing Texas gun nut — a reactionary in Marxist clothing. He seemed to be channeling both political extremes of the country in one body, as if he were acid and base at the same time. You know what happens when you mix an acid and base, right? <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Kaboom!</em> But it’s also as if Oswald, in melding those ideological extremes together, was channeling a war in the collective American psyche. His killing of JFK was an eruption — and, of course, it was the first of four assassinations of the four greatest political leaders of the 1960s. Two years later, in 1965: Malcolm X. Three years after that, in 1968: Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy. Every one of those deaths comes with its own conspiracy theory (or with its own lone-gunman wackjob), yet whatever you believe, surely it is not just<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></em> a <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">coincidence</em> that this was all happening.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: arial; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">What I think still spooks us, 50 years later, about the first of these murders — the assassination of John F. Kennedy — is that even if Lee Harvey Oswald <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">was</em> acting alone, we experienced (and still experience) the assassination as some kind of karmic act of national self-sabotage. It’s as if we didn’t have the faith, or strength, to believe in this leader we loved so much; it’s almost as if the collective unconscious of the nation had coalesced into a kind of political death wish — as if it had risen up, through Oswald, to destroy the very president who represented our hopes and dreams. And what that says, to me, is that there was something larger in the air. What remains haunting about the JFK assassination is that it seems, as you watch it on film, to have the terrifying ring of inevitability. It’s the random act of horror that created our world, and therefore seems not random at all but as if it was meant to be. The Zapruder film shows us that act, over and over again, but not, perhaps, the reality behind it. And maybe there’s no way that it could. After all, it’s only a movie.</div></div></div>
