News: "Dallas JFK Museum Gets Rights to Zapruder Film"

In <http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20000126/ts/crime_jfk_1.html>

My summary:

The Zapruder family has donated the copyright in the "Zapruder Film" of John Kennedy's assassination, and their last remaining copy of the film, to the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas. The Museum is located in the book depository location from which Lee Harvey Oswald fired his shots.

The family had already sold the original to the US for $16,000,000, after an arbitration award in its favor.

Abraham Zapruder shot the 26 seconds of footage in November 1963 as Kennedy was shot. The film was probably the most prominent piece of evidence in the subsequent Warren Commission investigation.
