Jeez, it took me forever to figure this thing out. Pretty clever though.

Very nicely done, indeed.

What was the name of the original board chair? I can't remember it, though I ought to be able to...

Ahhhh. Got it. Really, really clever.

Huh. I apparently missed something, because I don't even see what there is to figure out. It's an exercise in alternative history...?

Unless I misread it, the only LAPD character who was never referred to by his full name was "Sgt. Perez".

Check out the info page about "MacArthur Park," the pseudo-documentary on the production company's website.

From that page: "Of course, it's a fictional piece, despite looking like a documentary from a parallel universe. Look for MacArthur Park on the film festival circuit in early 2001 ... and cropping up around the Web now."

Interesting note: Alek Hidell was an alias of Lee Harvey Oswald.

Yep. Warren. The Warren Commission.
