>>Both word processors put the line breaks in exactly the same places that they do on the "original" memos that were supposedly typed over 30 years ago on a typewriter.<<
In my opinion, this could seal the deal.
What about corrections? Who could have typed something like this with no typos? When did correction tape and neater things than liquid paper come into being?
Try this...
1. Take a page from a word Document.
2. Print it out at the "Normal" setting on your printer.
3. Crumple it up, and the straighten it out.
4. Run it through a FAX machine to make a copy.
Bingo- The text will look out of line, there will be artifacts, etc. all over the face of the document. If Dan Rather accepted these memos as legit without questioning their authenticity, he's stupid. If he accepted them knowing they were fakes, he's lying thriough his teeth.
(Hey, the "stupid or lying" line is what the Dims used on Reagan all the time- I think it's appropriate here!)
