Questions remain:

Where did CBS get em from? Wasn't this a FOIA request?
Why did white House hand them out last night also with no comment?
Is it too late to be talking about issues? :-D

  - Other possibility: the forgers (assuming a forgery) were just stupid. (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 9/9/2004 10:11:46 PM
    - re: In 1944, IBM designs the first typewriter with proportional spacing - Chris Vancil - 9/9/2004 10:28:46 PM
      - At least one expert has identified the font as Times New Roman, available only on modern computers. (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 9/9/2004 10:53:47 PM
        
        Times New Roman in use by The Times of London in 1932 (n/t) - Alan G. Archer - 9/9/2004 11:35:51 PM
        
        For typesetting, yes. But for typewritters? - Larry J - 9/10/2004 12:03:44 AM
        
        Probably not - Alan G. Archer - 9/10/2004 2:30:04 PM
      - But no kerning, and proportional was rare. - ebnelson - 9/9/2004 10:51:28 PM
        
        re: IBM's were not rare in 1970s and the type is to blurred to positively identify it. But if forged seems pretty stupid not to have used common fonts easly picked up on web. (n/t) - Chris Vancil - 9/9/2004 11:08:10 PM
        
        Proportional typing machines were, and the kerning is something IBMs never did. - ebnelson - 9/9/2004 11:33:29 PM
