All you need to know from today’s lengthy Washington Post tick-tock article reconstructing (deconstructing?) Rathergate:

*Rather also dismissed the notion that CBS was negligent: “I’m confident we worked longer, dug deeper and worked harder than almost anybody in American journalism does.”

*[60 Minutes" executive Josh] Howard said he believed some of the outsiders’ questions about superscript and proportionate spacing were “kind of silly.”

*Tests run by Thomas Phinney, fonts program manager for Adobe Systems, show that none of the possible font widths available on any typewriter or any IBM device from 1972 are able to produce an exact replica of the CBS documents. “Can they do something ’similar’? Sure,” Phinney said. “Could they produce those exact memos? Impossible.”

*As the days begin to blur for Josh Howard, he embraces the same logic: “So much of this debate has focused on the documents, and no one has really challenged the story. It’s been frustrating to us to see all this reduced to a debate over little ‘th’s.”

The death cry resounds.
