I agree with Buckhead's assessment that was only a matter of time before plenty of other people noticed the forgery. I also worked in an office environment and used IBM Selectrics and every other manner of typewriter. Heck, I remember using the original "fax" machine (I forget what it was called) in the early '80s where you put your phone in a cradle and your document on a drum which spun around.

After Buckhead's alert, I looked at the document on-line and could easily see that it just wasn't right.
Early '70s? No way.

by XEROX, one of the many inventions that they developed, and got away from them. What a great technical company, with absolutely no vision for what their inventions could become.

I installed these innovative units in our branch warehouses, to get shipment details back to HQ, so I could invoice them the next day, improving "Days Sales Outstanding" by three days, but I had to develop a long plastic envelope to hold all the shipping docs for one days activity

WTG Buckhead, TankerKC and all who contributed to exposing Mary Mape's ephemeral little wet dream for what it was!
