"SOME ANALYSTS OUTSIDE CBS SAY THEY BELIEVE THE TYPEFACE ON THESE MEMOS IS NEW TIMES ROMAN.... WHICH THEY CLAIM WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE 1970S. BUT THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY THAT DISTRIBUTES THIS TYPING STYLE.... SAYS IT HAS BEEN AVAILABE SINCE 1931.DOCUMENT AND HANDWRITING EXAMINER MARCEL MATLEY ANALYZED THE DOCUMENTS FOR CBS NEWS."
I just got on line and clearly haven't been able to read all the posts on this thread. However I would point out:
Times New Roman was not available since 1931. Prior to sometime in the early 1940's, it was a printing typeface in England. The New York Times had it "reworked" and the new typeface was named "Times New Roman". It was used solely in the printing business and was available for Linotype machines- Not typewriters.
As far as I know or can discover, it wasn't generally available for typewriters.
CBS's "expert" has repeatedly been de-bunked in the past, the last time involved Kurt Colbain's suicide.
The guy has a rather poor record when it comes to handwriting analysis, and further, he IS NOT a questioned document expert.
I apologize if this info has already been posted.
