Memogate

It's worth mentioning the flap over the documents produced by CBS News allegedly throwing doubt on President Bush's National Guard record.

Physical characteristics of the documents suggest that they may have been produced by a modern word processer rather than by a Vietnam-era typewriter.

CBS News responds- accurately- that some typewriters of the era did, indeed, have the capability to produce the characteristics in question. The question remains, however, in view of the rarity of such typewriters at the time, of how likely it is that the documents were produced by one of them.
