The question is, what typewriter was Killian using? I doubt if his unit sprang for a high-tech typewriter to write memos. Also, from what I have read it's unlikely that Bush needed to "stretch his father's authority" to get into the Texas Air National Guard. Whatever Barnes did (and he's a lousy witness) it wasn't crucial to Bush getting a pilot slot. I don't have any problems with Bush's intentions or his performance in the ANG.

Hey look, every administrative office have their standards. The th superscript could be have easily been from a high tech typewriter of the era. I remember my neighbor’s typewriter having italics, all numbers, and even basic fractions to 1/16 Did it do proportionally spaced fonts and curly apostrophes? I doubt it. This was simply not part of typewriter technology in the 1970s. Tiny "th"s were used only in print, if you wanted to be fancy with a typewritten page, you could approximate them by using pica, but it didn't look the same.
