This is hardly absolute proof, but it is evidence of a forgery:
Word processors bump words from one line to the next to allow the most possible writing on a line without causing a word to be broken, and of course, you automatically start the next line, without even noticing this after a while.
Typewriters didn't work that way. They cued you to start a new line with a little bell that went off as you approached the end of a line. For anyone who did much typing, this became extremely Pavlovian: the bell went off, and you whacked the "carriage" to the starting position of a new line. Typically, this was about eight or ten characters away from the end of the line.
Well, the difference is that a word processor will often fit an extra short word after the point at which a typist would have started a new line. True, a poor typist will often hear the bell go off and decide "Aw, heck, I can squeeze an extra word in." But any real typist will be typing fast enough that they will just smack the carriage over.
Well, guess what? The placement of line breaks suggests that the CBS document was produced by a word processor, not a typewriter.
Sorry.
If one had the original doc you can see that different keys on a typewriter have different flaws. That's why in the detective novels they can test a typewriter to see which machine was used to type a particular document. Not the case with computers.
Not me, I'm still adapting...
In fairness, memos entitled, "CYA" probably didn't always get serial numbers. *smirk*

Okay, I'm really only 25. ;-}.
I loved the smell of dittos in the morning! These kids today just don't know what they're missing.
BOSTON GLOBE PUBLISHED KNOWN-BY THE GLOBE-TO-BE-FROM-PORN-SITES PHOTOS:
The Boston Globe KNEW the pics were porn, knew they were from a porn site frequented by Boston Globe reporters,
and knew they were held by an admitted racist who segregates whites from meetings,
and outrageously and odiously said they were from "credible" sources.
The Boston Globe KNEW lies were being published so as to result in murders of Americans.
The proterrorist writers at the Boston Globe KNEW exactly what they were doing.

This latest lie against AMERICA was from none other than the bow-tied home of liar Jayson Blair =====> The Boston Globe.
More examples?
From The Boston Globe's (and New York Times') own wars against the War for Enduring Freedom.
The Boston Globe has a history of falsifying front page polls

Jeeze- you're talkin about a clerk-typist. And those old manual typewriters had a key to allow you to type through the pre-set right margin stop. And considering that it was just a memo...
CBS faxed the docs to the White House. Your theory would have them faxing a reproduction? I don't think so.

Darn. I don't think I can keep up the charade about being 39 years old still.
And CBS is to blame!
The zip appears legit. The document from Bush's records appears to verify the address. I thought that P.O. Box 34567 looked funny, too, but it looks okay, too.

ROFL........good one,that is to dang funny.
If you read the body, I'm sure you can determine that this is not a real document. the header and the signature were taken from one of the other "real" documents.
It was hard to adjust from the manual Remington I had as a Pfc to the new IBM selectric. My fingers didn't know what to do, not having to pound the keys so hard.
"...Air Force docs are all in courier or some similar non-proportional pitch."
This one is easy! I posted in another subject that anyone can pull from their records an order from the same ANG and date. Doesn't everyone keep a copy of their military records? I have found that they answered more than one question.
