Unfortunately, the usa today pdf is also extremely low resolution. CBSnews.com should just release 600dpi or 300dpi scans. That way, a direct overlay can be done with a few laser printers and transparencies to determine if the match is exact.

I think everything about it has been exhausted by all on the web, and it is up to cbsnews to just produce the highest quality scan so that others can indeed prove the exact match and go away to do something else.

Can you imagine how much productive time of the web's collective conciousness is wasted on this stuff? Lets just settle it once and for all already and move on!

You might take a look at the versions on the USA Today website.

I had started with the USA Today copies and article yesterday and switched to the CBS version after you posted the link to me today. The CBS copies are better, to my eye. Not good, but better.

CBS didn't use original 1972 documents. That all by itself, is very telling. Evidently, this is how Dan Rather operates....and CBS News has approved. News damning all by itself.

And, the USA today article also notes this:

It is unclear where the documents, if they are real, had been kept in the intervening three decades.

heh...Unless we see the original onion skin documents, or the original paper documents, the copies are figments of someone's imagination.
