Please read reply 198, and tell us now if you think that bizarre and complex procedure was likely to have been used to create proportional spacing on a memo in the TANG in 1972.

Yes, it's "possible" to also hit 18 consecutive holes-in-one, blindfolded.

I don't mind that you're a contrarian. Contrarians keep us sharp and honest. But what you are doing with the IBM Executive option is dishonest, unless you tell folks how bizarre and difficult it was to create proportional type on an IBM Executive, and how remote the chance would be that this would have been done on a memo in the TANG in 1972.

All I'm asking for is intellectual honesty.

You don't understand. It wasn't difficult to create proportional type; the typewriter did that automatically. I'm a terrible typist, and I used one of these things. The hard part was to right-justify, and these memos are not right-justified.

The last bit of 198 is the process you have to go though to "Justify" (align text on the left margin and also the right margin). However, if you just want to left align it, like in all 4 memos, you just type normally.

Although technically it is possible for Killian or his secretary to have had a IBM Electric, no other document I've seen for Bush so far has proportional fonts. I'm inclined to think it is a forgery because of this.
