Brought into sharper focus by modern optics, the home-movie of Kennedy's assassination is said to cast more doubt on Warren Commission's indings that President was shot from the rear. Closer Look at JFK Death FHm Stirs Debate on Warren Report rriM ft- -r" 5VxJ ff ifl Millie Jackson Alberto Rochi Francois Rabbath By ROBIN ADAMS SLOAN QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ASKED HUNDREDS OF TIMES: Was President Kennedy shot from the rear as the Warren Commission claims or from the front as some insist? A new print of the famed Abraham Zapruder home movie, owned by Time, has been obtained by yourrg fi'm maker Robert Groden.

He has worked it over with sharper quality and optics to zoom in on JFK during the critical six seconds when the bullets struck the late President. The result seems to disprove the Warren Commission findings. I have seen Margaret Leighton in two films lately where she is only shown sitting down. Is something wrong -with her, as rumored? H.W, New York, N.Y. The fine British actress is suffering from multiple sclerosis and has some difficulty getting about.

But medication is arresting the disease and Margaret (Mrs. Michael Wilding in private life) is still mobile. It seems to me that every picture you ever see of Mrs. Henry Kissinger, she's holding a cigaret. G.L, Lowell, Mass.

Nancy Kissinger is never without a ciga-ret. At the State Department she's notorious for flicking ashes on the valuable antique rugs. Just what kind of stuff will Mrs. John Dean get into her book, and who needs it? What does she know, anyway? H.N., Boston, Mass. "Mo" Dean says her book, to be published in May, will be "primarily a love story." Those who've seen early drafts say it's full of spicy details about Mo's experiences with the roving-eyed leaders of governments.

Of former Ambassador to Britain Walter Annenberg, Mrs. Dean recalls: "He likes to dance unusually close to his partners." Now, some VIP's wonder what else she remembers. Mo says, "I hope I can impart some knowledge to young wives all wives about men of power and how to handle the situation and not get lost in the shuffle." Did all those recent film and TV productions about Winston Churchill make his daughter. Lady Sarah, a rich woman? T.T., Boston, Mass. Apparently Lady Sarah did get some money, but she seems to be nearly broke again.

A wine merchant just sued her for about $1,000 in unpaid liquor and cigaret bills. I keep reading about how sick George Segal is, and, yet his picture is in the papers all the time at parties. What's with him? P.K., Hollywood, Calif. According to George, he has a bad knee which kept him off the film "Lucky Lady," with Liza Minnelli and Burt Reynolds. What's unlucky for George proved lucky for Gene Hackman, who's getting a million plus for replacing him.

George's friends report him still acting strangely, but no one wants to say anything for publication. "He who casts the first stone," or something like that. Is the woman who married King Carol II of Romania still living? What was her name? Didn't she take him for a bundle? K.E., Newport, R.I. Magda Lupescu, the beauty who was married to the exiled king in Mexico shortly before he died, lives a cloistered life in Estoril, Portugal, and has refused six figures for the story of her life. Most people think Magda cleaned up in her years as "royal mistress," but there are others who say the weak-willed king took very little money with him and that Magda supported him to the end on the sales from her jewels.

QUESTION YOU NEVER ASKED: Who's the woman producer taking all the play away from David Merrick and Alex Cohen these days? She is a former Spanish Lit teacher from Columbia University one Adela Holzer, a self-made millionairess who owns rice, cement, trucks, tractors and now two Broadway comedy hits, "The Ritz" and "All Over Town." Adela did it the easy way. She put $57,000 into "Hair" and made $2 million. So now she has 10 different plays coming up. Isn't Dean Martin awfully quiet these days? Y.T., Meridian, Miss. Old Dino is just pulling his usual Garbo bit.

He always wants to be alone, stay home and watch Westerns on TV, and play golf with a few select pals. But these days, with Dean's marriage to Cathy Hawn in the touch-and-go stage, he is even freezing his best buddies, and they profess not to know why. How did they make the breaking of the dam for the movie E.T., El Centro, Calif. The set cost a quarter of a million dollars and was a reproduction 56 feet long and 10 to 20 feet high. Everything was in perfect scale but there was a problem because water is hard to "miniaturize." (A drop of water is still a drop of water.) The experts, some of them quite old and brought out of retirement for the picture, filmed this scene with a special filter to further disguise any imperfections and make it seem more realistic Robin Adams Sloan welcomes questions from readers.
