This does not imply, however, that the memos could not have originated during the 1970s since IBM, the dominant player in the office equipment at the time had several years earlier invented a typewriter which allowed typists to use proportional fonts

This wasn't true for any Selectric as far as I recall. And the Selectric's normal Elite font does not look like those documents at all.

I'm going from memory here, but it's not hard to check out. How many millions of Americans over 40 wrote documents on typewriters in the 70s, then switched to computers some time in the 80s? We all remember that documents looked much better on computers.

The Bush memo forgers must be young.
