It doesn't need to match. I only need to show that justification was common in that time period, and on this very thread an example of a 1969 citation has been provided to prove this.

The samples no where come close to the formatting (spaces) of the Hyman citation.

SO WHAT? You are grasping at straws here. When you started this thread out, you were focused on JUSTIFICATION. That it wouldn't have been done in 1969. Your original premise has been blown completely out of the water. END OF STORY.

The reason Kerry's Silver Star is fraudulent is not because it was forged, it was because misrepresented his record to get it.

In fact, the very fact that all three of the examples use such significantly different typesetting, and yet were ALL justified anyway, bolsters my point. It would be one thing if they all shared the same style, and Kerry's was different. This is not the case; they are ALL different, demonstrating that there was not a single printing standard at the time.
