It's beginning to look like the docs are legitimate. NPR or no NPR. Apparently the raised "e" can also be attributed to a defect introduced by multiple-passes through a copier in an attempt to artificially "age" a document. If you've seen the pdf (I downloaded it from the Washington Post). No. That wouldn't effect the "e"s alone. Try again. Try again yourself. The "a" letters in several words were affected the same way. That still wouldn't be explained by multiple passes. Try again. The new discoveries along with the Rovian character of the first criticism out make it clear that the docs are legitimate. You believe what you want. They match up all to well. No, as a matter of fact they don't. If you go to other sites in the links you can see what the best of the IBM typewriter of the time can do reproducing the memo's and you can see for yourself that they match up far worse than the suspect documents and their computer generated brethren with the character misalignments I expected to find. Not to mention that nobody in their right mind would go through the gymnastics need to create the superscript of just a few characters in the document. The "th" would have been just regular typed letters. You obviously never used a Selectric II. No but others have. Follow the links it's obvious that a Selectric II could not create those documents. It's already been established that IBMf and OTHER typewriters had both superscript and proportional spacing. Try again. If you were writing a math paper where the superscript was part of a formula you might but not in a memo such as this. That's absurd. You're reaching. Your the one reaching. Actually, I'm not. Since there are now printed document experts who are saying that it's quite possible for the docs to have been turned out on typewriters of the period, the burden of proof now falls on the doubters. Plus, since superscript on even so cheesy an IBM model as the Selectric II was no more than a flipped lever away, and since even when I was learning how to type [1964] that lever flipping was taught to be almost instinctual, you ARE in fact reaching. No you are reaching. I did not say it's not possible just unlikely. Well, you're wrong, since quickly and efficiently producing superscript on electric typewriters was a part of basic high school typing classes in 1964. Besides that, the docs don't reveal anything that wasn't already known about Bush's desertion. These "docs" do portray Bush in a more negative light. Not really. We already know everything in the docs that's of any material value. We knew he got in via Barnes. We knew he got jumped ahead of his capabilities. We knew he wasn't where he was supposed to be. We knew he failed to show for the physical, etc., etc. I don't care if they are real but I do care if they are fake because then someone is trying to smear the President. If. It's pretty clear that they are forgeries. No it's not. It's clear to me that they are when you look at an Selectric II created document, a computer generated document and the suspect document the two that line up the best is the computer generated and suspect. It's pretty clear the suspect documents were created on a computer not a typewriter. Not to the experts. And you're no expert. The opinion of the experts are not in yet. Well, manifestly, the opinion of some of them IS in. You are no expert either. And I said that I was an expert exactly where???? Since we will have to wait I'll believe my eye's over your bias any day. What you believe doesn't really concern me. |

I don't see any. The August 18, 1973 Memo. The two middle "e"s in the word "interference". This was caught by an independent expert named Marty Heldt, but anyone can see it in a blowup or even with a handheld magnifying glass. Sorry, but I don't see it. I see a bunch of distortions from the multiple copyings. They are *not* "raised" - the bottom is slightly distorted compared to the first "e" in interference, but the tops are in exactly the same spot. Actual "raised letters" - usually referred to as "flying caps", are due to the platen not being in the correct position after/before a shift (CAPITAL LETTER) on a regular typewriter. IBM Selectric "golfball" typewriters don't have this problem, because the upper case letters are on the opposite side of the ball from the lower case letters. There is no shifting of the platen involved. I *do* see a superscript "th", however. No "hunt and peck" typist would jump through the hoops needed to do this in a MEMO TO HIMSELF! You have to manually space the page up 1/2 line, CHANGE THE TYPE BALL to the smaller font, type the "th", manually space the page back down and then REPLACE THE TYPE BALL WITH THE LARGER ONE! Do you *seriously* believe someone actually did this - assuming he actually had the IBM Selectric Composer typewriter to begin with? Besides, this entire page lines up *perfectly* - horizontally AND vertically - with the memo text re-typed into Word, using default settings and margins. Just what do you think the odds are of *that*? So no, it's NOT "beginning to look like the docs are legitimate"! They are *clearly* forgeries. Dan Experts disagree with you, Dan. I think I'll take their word over yours. Especially since I learned on a Selectric II and superscript was taught to be nearly instinctual in 1964 typing classes. |

Dan There is a single occurrence of an ever so slightly raised "e" in the word "Colonel" in one of the documents That's only one instance. There's also the word "interference" in the 18 August memo. Same thing in the word "me" in second line. In the case of that word, it may be a matter of the "m" falling slightly below the line. In both case, it's inconsistent with a word processor. You're asserting it's consistent with a typewriter? If the typewriter had some defect to cause a letter to misregister, that misregistration would be consistent, which it is not in these docs. Again it becomes apparent that you never used a Selectric II. And I think I'll take the word of a document expert over yours. |

I'll predict CBS eventually drops any further mention of/reliance on the documents and switches to stressing any other information in the story as sufficient to prove their point. Also, if Hilarious. You guys *still* don't get it. You have a MS Word document that required millions of calculations to create. And another document that matches it exactly. But somehow, someway, you're still not grasping that it would take *gasp* millions of calculations to create the same spacings. You see an IBM typewriter from 1973 with the claim of "proportional fonts", but you stilll haven't grasped the difference between a mechnical device with a few variations and a computer generated device requiring millions of calculations. That's liberals for ya. If you'd exercise yore brains some more, perhaps you wouldn't need losers like Clinton to save your asses! Too funny., |

Computer printer manufacturers, and computer font designers, have spent decades trying to reproduce the output of popular typewriters and printing presses. Indeed, many computer fonts used today are based directly on the old typewriter fonts. Companies making word processing programs have spent decades trying to get similar results from their programs. At this point, after decades of such efforts, it would really be more surprising if the results between the two (typewriters and computers) were actually that different. Stewart |
