With all of the discussion in the media about President Bush’s Air National Guard record and the validity of various documents, I turned to our own expert, Frank Romano, Professor Emeritus at Rochester Institute of Technology, for the inside scoop on the latest font flap.

As readers will be aware, CBS’ Dan Rather presented previously unseen documents on 60 Minutes that were purported to have been written by then-Lt. Bush's National Guard squad commander, Lt. Col. Jerry Killian, who passed away in 1984. These documents, which seemed to reflect that Bush had failed to live up to the requirements of his service, came under much criticism and scrutiny, giving rise to a number of questions about their authenticity.

Meanwhile, Killian's secretary, Marian Carr Knox, who described herself as Killian's "right hand" during much of the 1970s, has stated that while she believes the documents themselves are not authentic, the content of the documents is, indeed, accurate.
