The latest buzz from the rabid right wing attack dogs is that the newly
released memos about George Bush are forgeries. Bizaare.

Let me try this again (and apologies if there's a dupe).
I checked the link. Their premise is *so* broken. That's what happens
when people making these judgments are too young to have any historical
knowledge. Near-typeset quality in the office is nothing new.

As far back as the '50s, as memory serves, IBM had a proportional
spacing typewriter. Some of you may have seen one in front of the admiral's
secretary. It was distinguished by having a split spacebar,
marked '2' and '3' to indicate how many microspaces would be inserted.
The 'w' was indeed wider than an 'i', and combined with a carbon ribbon,
the output was elegant, indeed. In fact, I was once roundly criticized
for having sent something out for typesetting when it had only been
typed, but I digress...

Bah, humbug,
