This Mapes broad is one unethical POS if just half of what some who have directly spoken with her is true.
CBS would be well servrd by folding up the 60 Minutes tent and reformatting.
The modern information mix is not kind to juggernauts with a history of abusing the editorial process, spitting it back out as news.

The thought of hundreds of liberal drones sitting at vintage typewriters trying to get everything lined up makes me giggle and do the happy dance.
They already are. This was posted last night / this morning on freerepublic. It's from democrats.com:
[begin quoting]
"Are the Killian Memos a Forgery? Help Us Learn the Truth The media is buzzing with the possibility that the Killian memos broadcast on 60 Minutes are forgeries. The truth hangs on whether any commonly-used typewriters in the 60's-70's had proportional spacing and superscripts.
If you HAVE a typewriter like that (perhaps an IBM Executive Electric like http://www.etypewriters.com/1954-b-2.JPG), please type out a replica of Killian's first memo and see if your typewriter matches his. If it does, tell us about it in Bob Fertik's blog.
[end quote] (emphasis supplied)

Remember when Howard Beale went mad on the air in the classic,
Network? First, he announced he was going to commit suicide on the air, live. The audience went through the roof. Rather doesn't have the courage to commit actual suicide, but he may have a metaphysical suicide in mind.

About 10 minutes in, Dan will tell about how this story was given the same level of scrutiny that all other stories at CBS receive. He will say he knows nothing that would change the story, but if he finds something he will be sure to let us all know.

"LOL.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the DNC or CBS News right now."
What do you mean by "or"? If you are at one then you are at the o[sup]th[/sup]er.

It's not enough to find a document from the era with the "th" superscript. There may well have been some even many typewriters capable of printing the "th" superscript in 1968. But the question is, were there any typewriters capable of printing the "th" superscript within the limited universe of machines that could also have produced the document in question? Thus pointing to a document with courier font for example and a superscripted 'th' will prove nothing whatsoever because the document in question was typed by a machine within a completely different category of typewriters.
Am I a typewriting expert? NO, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night.

Mike Wallace, Leslie Stahl, Morley Saffer, and yes, even Andy Rooney would like to kill Dan Rather right now. He may just take the whole crew down the rat hole with him.

I don't watch the alphabet networks to learn anything other than how they are spinning things on a given day. I already know more than they will ever tell me on one of these topics (or at least know where to go for more detailed information). Even Dan Rather told his CBS viewers to go to the internet if they wanted to see the Nick Berg decapitation video; he has acknowledged that there are things CBS will not share with their viewers (not even on their website). Instead they are sent to terrorist mirror sites and gore/faces-of-death-type sites. Eventually some conservative blogs had it on line but those were the initial sources for the video.

The keystrokes need to be examined, computer or word processor wouldn't leave keystroke indentations like electric, manual or selectric typewriters did. Also what was paper size back then, and what is the rag content of this paper in comparison to today's paper. Were the keystrokes smooth and the same indention depth a professional typist would do or were they the un even ones produced by a hunt and peck typist who did not apply the same pressures on each keystroke.

Perhaps Dan Rather can follow the ancient and honorable tradition of the Rockefeller family and commit suicide by falling on his mistress.
