"A review by The Times showed that after a seven-month gap, he appeared for
duty in late November 1972 at least through July 1973," the paper noted on
Nov. 3, 2000.

...
"A document in Mr. Bush's military records," the paper said, "showed credit
for four days of duty ending Nov. 29 and for eight days ending Dec. 14,
1972, and, after he moved back to Houston, on dates in January, April and
May."


[should that last have been 'and dates in..' rather than 'on dates in..'?

The paper found corroboration for the document, noting, "The May dates
correlated with orders sent to Mr. Bush at his Houston apartment on April
23, 1973, in which Sgt. Billy B. Lamar told Mr. Bush to report for active
duty on May 1-3 and May 8-10."

Yet another document obtained by the Times blew the Bush AWOL story out of
the water.

It showed that Bush served at various times from May 29, 1973, through July
30, 1973 - "a period of time questioned by The Globe," the Times sheepishly
admitted.

The webpage above does not feature images of any of the documents
to which the article refers. Are any such images available?
