The CBS fraud reward is now $$37,900. Updated x 2
One site is offering a "cashiers check to the first person who could exactly (and reasonably) reproduce the memos on technology available in 1972."
The WaPo article, Expert Cited by CBS Says He Didn't Authenticate Papers, focuses on three major discrepancies:
• Word-processing techniques
• Factual problems
• Stylistic differences
and concludes that "Questions about the CBS documents have grown to the point that they overshadow the allegations of favorable treatment toward Bush."

Safire's advising Dan to "recognize the preponderance of doubt. Call for a panel of old CBS hands and independent editors to re-examine sources and papers."

There's even an on-line petition at Rathergate.com.

To those visitors who wondered, I'm not a pajamas blogger. It's regular daytime clothes for me. Lileks, however, even has special slippers appropriate for typeface analysis.
Update Another memo surfaces over at Juliette's
Second update The bards exult over an Omlet at Lord Simon's.
