Authenticity of Bush Guard Docs in Question

WASHINGTON — Questions continued to swirl Friday around the authenticity of memos purporting to show discrepancies in President Bush\'s Texas Air National Guard (search) service over 30 years ago.
Documents aired by CBS\' "60 Minutes" Wednesday night were described as having been written by Bush\'s commanding officer during his Guard days. Taken together, they seemed to show that Bush, then a pilot, violated a direct order and tried to avoid his duties.
But since the documents surfaced, many experts who have studied them say the memos\' typeface, formatting, paragraph spacing and other attributes indicate that they were written on a modern-day personal computer, possibly using the Microsoft Word word-processing program — not on a 1970s typewriter.
The documents were purportedly written in 1972 and 1973.
