And the odds that the entire page perfectly matches MS Word default spacing, word wrap, type face, all the rest. No way.

This, I think, is the most compelling evidence of fakery. It is nearly statistically impossible to have words be overlaid identically with proportional fonts. While it may be true that proportional fonts may have been available on a small set of typewriters of that era, its nearly impossible that it would have produced the same "typo-metrics" or word "finger-print" as Microsoft Word today, or of any typewriter other than the exact same typewriter using the exact same print head. Its even highly unlikely that you could get MS Word to produce a word "finger-print" match with another modern word-processor (such as Word Perfect) even if both used the same proportional font. There are just too many points that match.

There are so many details in the font, as well. Open vs. closed "4" for example.

These documents are not authentic, I am convinced. CBS is going to obfuscate the issue.
