IMPORTANT BREAKING STORY

Posted by Bill

At Rathergate.com:

Bouffard backing up? Not likely.

"Like anything that requires some research, it takes time to test the various hypotheses. One of these is the possibility that an IBM Selectric Composer, a typewriter like machine, available in the late 1960’s, could also have produced the Memos, as do computer word processors. It appears that it cannot, but not for the reasons previously given : “th", centering, etc."

Read the rest at Rathergate.com. The content of that e-mail and the address are entirely consistent with everything that Dr. Bouffard told me.

I just wanted to put in my notes:

Here is my attempt at replicating the August 1 memo in word. (Default font, word wrap, tab settings, etc)

Looks like a good match.
