"60 Minutes Documents forged?" A lot of the charges of forgery revolves around the use of proportional space. That's a nitwit claim, Selectrics got that feature in the early 1960's. The other nitwit claim is the typeface didn't exist then. The fact that Microsoft (and Apple before them) modeled some of their fonts after that office standard, the Selectric, totally escapes them. Yes, Selectrics were expensive. But it was an IBM... If you look at the pdfs, you should note that all of the characters don't fall on the same line, there are small variations. While not impossible to do with a laser printer, it wouldn't be easy. There are several cases where you see the lower part of (especially) numbers comes down slightly lower than the surrounding characters. To sum it up, the documents look as if they were typed on a Selectric. Anybody that ever used one, knows that. That I realize that facts aren't all that important in these things. But these "debunking" of those memos is pure fantasy...
