The military didn't even start using Word Star and Word Perfect until early 80's the only thing available to the military in 1972 was a typewriter or teletype and neither one can produce that font.

Can't they find the secretary that typed the letter? Or anyone that worked in the office to verify what kind of equipment they used?

In 1972 I was a secretary and the only "word processing" equipment we used was called a MagCard and I believe IBM made it. It was a very complicated system and we used in only for mass mailing stuff.

Our office used the IBM electric Selectric typewriters. They had an interchangeable "ball" that would allow you to change fonts, but only two or three "styles".

Also, in 1972 most correspondence was done so that copies used carbon paper with a tissue type paper for the file. Copy machines really didn't come into the office until the mid-seventies. I don't even think "White Out" was invented then. You had to use an eraser to make a change on the original as well as the copy or just backspace and type over it.

I hope that with modern technology they can determine if the documents are true or not. In any case, the one thing I can't understand is Barnes swearing under oath that GWB did not receive special consideration and then right when the polls start showing double digit leads for the President, Mr. Barnes has a sudden case of remorse for not telling the "truth". My gosh, he's a Democrat and evidently the Clinton "team" know how to turn the screws!
