the Washington Post, New York Times, Newsweek, and Washington Times are all just talking heads. I like to know and understand the nitty gritty. I've done my own typesetting using latex and other software. You want a give me break example. Two different memos. Two letterheads typed three months apart can be superimposed on each other so perfectly that no difference at all can be seen. shapeofdays.typepad.com What the compelling meaning of the image above??? This point was so important to Gerry that he went out of his way to mention it to me again later in the day: centering type is hard on the Selectric Composer. Two of the memos, May 4 and August 1, 1972, feature a three-line centered head. Each of those lines of type had to be centered by measuring it carefully, doing some math, then advancing the carrier to just the right point on the page. The margin for error would be pretty wide because type can be off by a few points in either direction and still look pretty well centered. It wouldn't be objectionable unless you went looking for it. So it wasn't necessary for Lt. Col. Killian — or his typist — to be millimeter-precise. And yet … he was. GIVE ME A BREAK. Only the retarded will still say they are not a fake. shapeofdays.typepad.com
