The documents are almost certainly forgeries. They are in proportional font with superscripts, neither of which would be found on armed forces issue typewriters in 1972.

I have contacted Drudge, on the off-chance that he might be interested in this kind of thing. Also advised 60 Minutes (HaHaHa).

They are in proportional font with superscripts,

Sounds like an excellent point to me. To the best of my (admittedly hazy) recollection, proportional font wasn't a possibility until laser printers, which I don't remember before the early 80s, though I stand open to correction. I believe proportional print typewriters constituted a last-ditch attempt -- in response to word processing -- to keep the typewriter from going obsolete; I heard they were hard to use -- in any case they don't seem to have lasted.

I think you're on to something here. I'm not familiar with the definition of proportional fonts, but those memos do not look like they were typed on a typewriter from that era. The font just doesn't look right. I was in high school back in 1972 and using typewriters at that time. The letters in those memos don't look like any typewriters from that era that I remember. Those memos look more like someone took current technology and tried to make the font look like typewriters from 1972.

Another odd thing about the one memo is where the writer refers to George W. Bush simply as "Bush." That doesn't look like the way military officers write a memo. They have procedures for everything in the military, including memo writing, and I'm sure their procedures would call for using a rank, first name, and middle initial (or at least the first two initials) to eliminate any uncertainty about names and identities. Military officers don't write sentences like "Bush called and said he wanted a transfer." They would write something like "Lt. George W. Bush called and requested a transfer." These memos also have a strange choice of details in them, with a lot of inexplicable references to Bush's political campaign work and "our investment in him." They look like they were written by somebody who's trying to discredit George W. Bush. Well his commanding officers would have not reason to discredit him, so these memos may well be forgeries and a classic political dirty trick. Keep digging, we're on the right track.

1960s Manual and electric front strike typewriters remained the office standard until the IBM Selectric with its golf-ball type-element was introduced in 1961. The Selectric's carriage was stationary while the type-element moved back and forth across the page. As was true of earlier single-element typewriters, the type-element on the Selectric could be changed to permit writing in different fonts and languages. Nice try though
