Dictabelt. It was a recording device on the belt of Dallas police officers. Supposedly, the Dictabelt on the belt of one of the officers in the motorcade was stuck on and recorded the whole thing, which supposedly proved that there were four shots.
However, for a whole huge list of reasons, it didn't.
As for the lining up, sure, if you assume that everyone was sitting straight up and in a straight line facing straight ahead, the path of the bullet had all sorts of weird twists in it. However, if you assume that everyone is sitting the way the Zapruder film shows them sitting, the only thing straight is the path of the bullet.
