What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorClint Hill was a Secret Service agent on the scene the day President Kennedy was assassinated.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHe is the man seen climbing onto the limousine to protect Jackie Kennedy. In nineteen seventy-five he sat down with Mike Wallace.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAnd what did he say? Because I want a straight answer from that tape.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDale, it's a fifty-year-old interview. It does not take follow-ups.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThat's convenient. Very convenient. A man says nothing new since nineteen seventy-five, and we just accept it?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHe answered the questions. You were not asked.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorWith all due respect, I would have asked about the car, the angle, the timing, and what he was thinking in the, and...
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe tape is not going anywhere, Dale.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorExactly. It is not going anywhere. That is a dodge.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorUnserious.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI have anchored through worse interviews, and the guest was alive for all of them. Most of them answered less.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIn my experience, the ones who say least are the ones standing closest to the facts. Hill's pictures did the talking.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo he refused to comment, in a photograph.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCan we confirm the tape is Hill?
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt keeps playing. It won't confirm. That is a dodge.
