Ding, ding, ding! Talk about smoking gun. Memos from 1972 with a proportional font. No way! I've been in data processing (as it was called in the 70's) for 25 years and at that time I had never even heard of proportional font. We used punched cards man! If we wanted to type something, we used an IBM Selectric typewriter! State of the art word-processing in the 1970's!

Who ever created these forgeries is likely to be someone under 40 years of age who never even thought about little details like proportional fonts. If they were going to create a half decent forgery they should at least have chosen a font like courier!

Remember all those detective dramas of the 50's, 60's, and 70's. A good detective would even figure out which typewriter was used to type a letter based on the crud that built up in the keys.

The Selectric had proportional fonts.
