Howlin, every single one of these memos to file is in a proportionally spaced font, probably Palatino or Times New Roman.
In 1972 people used typewriters for this sort of thing, and typewriters used monospaced fonts.
The use of proportionally spaced fonts did not come into common use for office memos until the introduction of laser printers, word processing software, and personal computers. They were not widespread until the mid to late 90's. Before then, you needed typesetting equipment, and that wasn't used for personal memos to file. Even the Wang systems that were dominant in the mid 80's used monospaced fonts.
I am saying these documents are forgeries, run through a copier for 15 generations to make them look old.
This should be pursued aggressively.
Just so you know, I'm telling my grandchildren that we were close personal friends.

1st bump of 2006
wallcrawlr has been archived to history now ;)
Bump after Al-Reuters is busted in another episode in the long saga of faked news by the Lame-stream-media. The world owes you, Buckhead!
BUMP!!
The infamous “Post 47” that blew the Rathergate story wide open.
Just gravy training here. Most of Dan Rather’s lawsuit against CBS was thrown out of court today. Three and a half years later and this post still reverberates.
Thank you Buckhead!
Buckhead incident mentioned today here:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2504598/posts
“Helen Thomas simply longs for the days when reporters and pundits could report spin, lies and opinion as fact and were never held accountable outside of page A-16 retractions.
“The new media’s finest moment came when in 2004 CBS’s Dan Rather attempted to influence a national election (much like his predecessor Walter Cronkite did with the Vietnam War after the Tet Offensive), but unlike then, now there is a new media filled with grassroots activists who were going to hold the old media accountable and one of those activists on the Conservative Site Free-Republic under the handle “Buckhead,” was able to expose Rather’s “official documents” concerning Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard as forgeries. Rather eventually lost his job as a result.
Bump for old glory days.
When are ya gonna buy me Chinese?????!????
Talking about making this Dan Rather incident a movie. Year 2014. Memory bump to see if they include one of the most important discoveries as a fact in the movie.
Wow. 10 years has flown by.
I just showed the famous post #47 to my 14 yr. son.
Try as they may - they just can’t rewrite history on this one.
I hope the past decade has been kind to you.
First time I had seen the famous post.
Cool to know that it took down a lying dirtbag. Too bad there are thousands more just like him.
Hope you are doing well.
Bump to re-awaken the thread since the new movie “Truth” is self-contradictory and a misnomer.
2016 brings us to President-Elect Trump and more fake news from the left... time to once again acknowledge the infamous Buckhead Post #47 that caught Dan Rather’s fake news.
Thank you Buckhead!
