They are just about crude enough for that to be believable; what kind of forger uses a word processor in its default setting, and doesn't research the format of typical 1972 TANG memos?

Someone young enough they don't remember the world before wordprocessers and computers? I am 40, and I did have a typing class in high school, so I would look for someone 30'ish or younger.

I am a little confused on one Mapes issue. Did Mapes physically go to Burkett to speak with him? If she did, I think that would make a HUGE difference in the issue of "buying" the forgeries aka Lockhart connection. If she was physically with Burkett, why would he need to fax them to her? Unless he waited for the payoff (phonecall) and then faxed them.

I took that typing class in 1978... No letters on the keys!

Mapes did meet personally with Burkett, I believe. If Burkett was just going to fax the memos to Mapes, why did he have to tell the whole "burned originals" story to protect Lucy Rameriez? No, I think the Fax from Kinkos was Mapes expediting the memos to CBS in NY to show Dan what she had.
