Default '60 Minutes' Documents on Bush Might Be Fake

http://www.drudgereport.com/

32-year-old documents produced Wednesday by CBSNEWS 60 MINS on Bush's guard
service may have been forged using a current word processing program.

typed using a proportional font, not common at that time, and they used a
superscript font feature found in today's Microsoft Word program, Internet
reports claim... Developing...

It doesn't mean the original documents were fakes. The original documents
after 32 years probably were faded, discolored and not legible. They were
almost certainly reproduced using a Microsoft spread sheet in order to make
them more legible. I see no problem with this. I would however like to see
the originals. I have searched the CBS website and their archives, but I
haven't been able to locate anything on this. Maybe, someone has an address.
I have a $100.00 bet that they are genuine.

Huh? I have documents much older than that that are perfectly legible.
There is no reason these 32 year old docs should not be legible.

They were
almost certainly reproduced using a Microsoft spread sheet in order to make
them more legible.


So why attempt to reproduce them exactly if all you want is to get the
wording of the documents. Just explain, the documents have been retyped
word for word for legibility.

Do believe during that era Some clerk-typist sat down at a typewriter with "N"
carbon copies and typed out the document.
Since you were using a Typewriter Ribbon, letters got filled with Ink.
The letter "e", being a commonly used letter, used to get clogged up quite
often, meaning you had to eventually clean the letters on the typewriter with a
"Q" tip and Alcohol.
If you didn't clean the keys, the ink would build up, eventually giving you a
smudgy looking letter.
