| Reconstructed | Account | The fence is younger than the plaza | 3 |
| Disputed | Official record | Victoria Adams ran down the stairs | 3 |
| Disputed | Official record | Dal-Tex, the building nobody looks at | 4 |
| Reconstructed | Official record | What the driver could see in his mirror | 4 |
| Disputed | Official record | And that number is doing more work than it should | 4 |
| Disputed | Official record | Two rows that do not work | 5 |
| Reconstructed | Official record | Between the surveyed points, it is arithmetic | 5 |
| Reconstructed | Official record | The tree had to be grown backwards | 5 |
| Reconstructed | Official record | And here is where the model disagrees with the record | 5 |
| Reconstructed | Official record | So I solved for the window fourteen times | 5 |
| Reconstructed | Official record | And the two bad rows are not the bad ones | 5 |
| Reconstructed | Account | Which leaves exactly one thing that can be wrong | 5 |
| Reconstructed | Official record | So I asked the table which frame it thinks that row is | 5 |
| Reconstructed | Account | And I tried hard to make that answer go away | 5 |
| Reconstructed | Account | What that actually fixes | 5 |
| Reconstructed | Account | Now the honest limits on that | 5 |
| Reconstructed | Account | Step three. Convert it into something a person can feel | 5 |
| Disputed | Official record | 12:30:02. The first one | 6 |
| Disputed | Official record | 12:32. Behind the fence | 6 |
| Disputed | Official record | Jean Hill, the lady in red | 6 |
| Disputed | Account | The fence, and Badge Man | 6 |
| Disputed | Official record | Lee Bowers had the only view behind the fence | 6 |
| Disputed | Official record | S.M. Holland saw smoke under the trees | 6 |
| Disputed | Official record | Officer Joe Marshall Smith and the credentials | 6 |
| Disputed | Official record | Frame 224. The lapel flips | 6 |
| Disputed | Official record | Frame 161. Was that the first one? | 6 |
| Disputed | Official record | Frame 290. The hat he never dropped | 6 |
| Disputed | Official record | The frames nobody agrees about | 6 |
| Disputed | Official record | How fast can that rifle be fired | 6 |
| Disputed | Official record | The shot nobody agrees on is the first | 6 |
| Disputed | Official record | The acoustic claim was really a timing claim | 6 |
| Disputed | Official record | Howard Brennan went home and said nothing | 7 |
| Disputed | Official record | How many shots did they hear | 7 |
| Disputed | Official record | The direction they pointed | 7 |
| Disputed | Official record | He could see it and he could not say it | 7 |
| Disputed | Official record | What he says he saw behind the fence | 7 |
| Disputed | Official record | He tried to tell them and it did not work | 7 |
| Disputed | Official record | Rosemary Willis stops running | 7 |
| Disputed | Account | The films that were never produced | 7 |
| Disputed | Official record | Chicago, and a trip that was canceled | 7 |
| Disputed | Document | Three weeks earlier, a name had been used | 7 |
| Reconstructed | Document | And a hundred and six pages nobody had read | 7 |
| Disputed | Official record | Lee Bowers died two years later | 8 |
| Disputed | Official record | Why that is not the end of the argument | 8 |
| Disputed | Official record | She changed her mind | 8 |
| Disputed | Official record | Arnold Rowland saw two men | 9 |
| Disputed | Official record | The trip to Mexico City | 9 |
| Disputed | Official record | Everything rests on things his wife said | 9 |
| Disputed | Account | And nobody has ever explained why he stopped that man | 9 |
| Disputed | Official record | Was Oswald ever in the club | 10 |
| Disputed | Account | The real Ruby problem is not Oswald at all | 10 |
| Disputed | Account | One reporter got to him alone | 10 |
| Disputed | Official record | He asked for a lie detector and he took one | 10 |
| Theory | Account | And at the end he said he had been injected with cancer | 10 |
| Disputed | Document | And the President had authorized both | 10 |
| Disputed | Account | And ten weeks earlier he had said something people never let go | 10 |
| Disputed | Account | The French president did not believe it either | 10 |
| Disputed | Official record | And the sight on it was almost worthless | 11 |
| Disputed | Official record | And it argues in two directions at once | 11 |
| Disputed | Official record | The bullet that was almost undamaged | 11 |
| Disputed | Official record | The palm print that arrived late | 11 |
| Disputed | Account | Both readings of that, and I lean to the dull one | 11 |
| Disputed | Official record | The sight on it did not work properly | 11 |
| Disputed | Official record | Nobody agrees which stretcher it was on | 11 |
| Disputed | Official record | Seven. He had done something extremely like it before | 11 |
| Theory | Account | And here is the only place I still get off | 11 |
| Disputed | Account | A man found a piece of skull in the grass the next day | 11 |
| Disputed | Official record | And the palm print was taken where a body was | 11 |
| Disputed | Account | And it has never entirely stayed dead | 11 |
| Disputed | Account | The man who told them not to come up | 11 |
| Reconstructed | Official record | What a reconstruction can and cannot show | 11 |
| Disputed | Official record | Why the number of shots is so hard | 11 |
| Disputed | Official record | That is the moment worth staring at | 12 |
| Disputed | Official record | The same men, sixty years apart | 12 |
| Disputed | Official record | Which sits very badly beside something you already know | 12 |
| Disputed | Account | They said the head only went backward. It does both. | 12 |
| Disputed | Account | And in the doorway there is somebody nobody named | 12 |
| Disputed | Account | Why the identity of a blur matters this much | 12 |
| Disputed | Official record | Two ways to read a soft landing | 13 |
| Disputed | Official record | And he left her almost everything he had | 13 |
| Disputed | Official record | What the colony actually tells you | 13 |
| Disputed | Official record | The address stamped on the leaflets | 13 |
| Disputed | Official record | What that summer actually shows | 13 |
| Disputed | Account | And he said he asked permission first | 13 |
| Disputed | Official record | The man who gave him a lift | 13 |
| Disputed | Official record | Three men at a door in Dallas | 13 |
| Disputed | Official record | Why the Odio incident will not go away | 13 |
| Disputed | Official record | And thirty years later she said the opposite | 13 |
| Disputed | Official record | The single-bullet conclusion | 14 |
| Disputed | Official record | He drove to Texas in a thunderstorm to go ice skating | 14 |
| Disputed | Official record | He died four days after the case became public | 14 |
| Disputed | Official record | Everything hung on a name in a phone call | 14 |
| Disputed | Official record | Destroyed before anyone could ask | 14 |
| Disputed | Official record | Mexico City is where the record got thicker | 14 |
| Disputed | Official record | The officer who was sent to help Congress | 14 |
| Disputed | Official record | What that does and does not mean | 14 |
| Disputed | Account | He made it because he thought the film was wrong | 15 |
| Disputed | Account | And the paper stops at the border, which is odd | 16 |
| Disputed | Official record | And the tapes were gone, except when they were not | 17 |
| Reconstructed | Account | And sixty files are not even named properly | 18 |
| Reconstructed | Account | So the first job was turning pictures back into words | 19 |
| Reconstructed | Account | And I want to defend the head pages, then admit what they cost | 19 |
| Reconstructed | Account | Then you search for the machinery rather than the story | 19 |
| Disputed | Document | Which makes the question sharper, not softer | 19 |
| Theory | Account | And it is the same shape as everything else in this book | 19 |
| Disputed | Document | And in the same file, a cryptonym I cannot identify | 19 |
| Theory | Account | But it sharpens the question rather than closing it | 19 |
| Reconstructed | Account | Then I asked the question the other way round | 19 |
| Reconstructed | Account | And the order is not what anybody would guess | 19 |
| Reconstructed | Account | And then a queue of one | 19 |
| Reconstructed | Account | So I taught a machine to read for it | 19 |
| Reconstructed | Account | And the first thing it found made me wrong | 19 |
| Reconstructed | Account | Because the Agency had it printed on the stationery | 19 |
| Reconstructed | Account | What the count is worth, and what it is not | 19 |
| Disputed | Document | Why this is not the last word | 20 |
| Disputed | Account | The officer who met him in Mexico City wrote a book | 20 |
| Disputed | Account | One empire opened its files and the friends did not | 20 |
| Theory | Account | The man in the sewer | 21 |
| Theory | Official record | The second Oswald | 21 |
| Theory | Account | The Babushka Lady | 21 |
| Theory | Account | Badge Man behind the fence | 21 |
| Theory | Official record | The umbrella was a weapon | 21 |
| Theory | Official record | The driver turned and fired | 21 |
| Theory | Official record | Everybody's favorite culprit | 21 |
| Theory | Official record | The body was altered | 21 |
| Theory | Official record | Ruby was sent to silence him | 21 |
| Theory | Official record | Why these never die | 21 |
| Disputed | Official record | Take the stone out of my shoe | 21 |
| Disputed | Official record | Why this is the strongest one and still is not enough | 21 |
| Disputed | Official record | The rifle was not a bad rifle | 21 |
| Disputed | Official record | He was not a bad shot | 21 |
| Disputed | Official record | The head moves back, and that is complicated | 21 |
| Disputed | Account | Nobody stood in the storm drain | 21 |
| Disputed | Account | The most cited name on the list | 21 |
| Disputed | Official record | The Secret Service was not told to stand down | 21 |
| Disputed | Official record | Was the film altered? | 21 |
| Theory | Account | The man who said he did it, then said he was joking | 21 |
| Theory | Account | Why people thought he was one of the tramps | 21 |
| Disputed | Official record | Julia Ann Mercer and the man on the curb | 21 |
| Disputed | Account | Gordon Arnold, the soldier who was never there | 21 |
| Disputed | Official record | Deputy Roger Craig and the station wagon | 21 |
| Disputed | Official record | The strongest version is a woman stuck in traffic | 21 |
| Disputed | Account | And what she said about her own affidavit | 21 |
| Disputed | Account | Why that one is harder to wave away than most | 21 |
| Disputed | Official record | And the schoolteacher in the red coat said she was leaned on | 21 |
| Disputed | Official record | Two of them, though, are not on the list by accident | 21 |
| Theory | Official record | A clerk on the night shift, five days early | 21 |
| Theory | Official record | What he says it said | 21 |
| Theory | Account | If it is real, nothing else in this book matters much | 21 |
| Theory | Official record | Thrown from a car on a Louisiana highway | 21 |
| Theory | Official record | What she is said to have said | 21 |
| Theory | Official record | And afterward the officer believed her | 21 |
| Theory | Official record | Castro did it first | 21 |
| Theory | Account | He was going to leave Vietnam | 21 |
| Disputed | Account | What the withdrawal memorandum actually said | 21 |
| Theory | Official record | The man in the doorway, again | 21 |
| Theory | Account | He was killed over the Federal Reserve | 21 |
| Theory | Account | The one about the nuclear program | 21 |
| Theory | Account | A woman who says she was with him that summer | 21 |
| Theory | Official record | And men who say they pulled the trigger | 21 |
| Disputed | Account | Nobody knows where the hat is | 22 |
| Theory | Account | I do not look at this the way most people do | 23 |
| Theory | Account | They let him have the parade first | 23 |
| Theory | Account | Doing it that way was not necessary | 23 |
| Disputed | Official record | The colonel was in New Zealand that week | 23 |
| Disputed | Account | And the ordinary explanation mostly works | 23 |
| Theory | Account | What I hear him saying | 23 |
| Theory | Account | Which is why I keep coming back to it | 23 |
| Disputed | Official record | The investigations nobody ran | 23 |
| Theory | Account | What I actually believe | 23 |
| Theory | Account | And this is where I stop being checkable | 23 |
| Theory | Account | And here is the trap in what I just said | 23 |
| Theory | Account | It is not the coup, it is the manner | 23 |
| Theory | Account | A public execution | 23 |
| Theory | Account | What else got stopped | 23 |
| Theory | Account | None of the usual suspects behaves like this | 23 |
| Theory | Account | The thesis, in one paragraph | 23 |
| Theory | Account | The Service would have found the Bureau | 23 |
| Theory | Account | The arrest ran like it was rehearsed | 23 |
| Theory | Account | And that costs me something | 23 |
| Theory | Account | Could have is not did | 23 |
| Theory | Official record | Why I think he was somebody's | 23 |
| Theory | Account | At most he was the second man, and here is why not the shooter | 23 |
| Theory | Official record | Ninety seconds, a rope elevator and a Coca-Cola | 23 |
| Theory | Account | And there is a figure in the doorway nobody has ever named | 23 |
| Theory | Account | And the palm print is still the problem with all of it | 23 |
| Theory | Account | I think the name was worn by more than one person | 23 |
| Theory | Account | One impersonation is not a program | 23 |
| Theory | Account | Hoover had it inside a day | 23 |
| Theory | Account | The last one is not like the others | 23 |
| Theory | Account | If it was a message, that is what a message looks like | 23 |
| Disputed | Account | And the ordinary version fits just as well | 23 |
| Theory | Document | Which is what makes nothing so hard to swallow | 23 |
| Theory | Account | Which is exactly the shape I keep finding | 23 |
| Theory | Account | And then the thing I cannot argue away | 23 |
| Theory | Account | What actually bothers me is the size of the response | 23 |
| Theory | Account | Everybody asks the wrong who | 23 |
| Theory | Account | It is not the Agency and it is not the Bureau | 23 |
| Theory | Account | Read the aftermath, not the plaza | 23 |
| Theory | Account | What I think it points at | 23 |
| Theory | Account | Things like this do not just happen | 23 |
| Theory | Account | Ask what did not happen instead | 23 |
| Theory | Account | I used to think the payday was Vietnam | 23 |
| Theory | Account | I have come to think it was personal | 23 |
| Theory | Account | Kennedy threatened that from both directions | 23 |
| Theory | Account | And I have no document for any of that | 23 |
| Theory | Account | Both answers are worth having, and one of them is very hard | 23 |
| Theory | Account | If there is nothing there, how are we seeing fingerprints | 23 |
| Theory | Account | That is why I hold it open and lean anyway | 23 |
| Theory | Account | And none of that is proof | 23 |
| Theory | Account | This is a theory and I am labeling it one | 23 |
| Theory | Account | It should have been the hunt of all hunts | 23 |
