The Return of the Smoking Memo
I keep getting emails from people saying things like, “Hey! Where’s that graphic they told me about! I can’t find it!”
So, even though I know LGF regulars are probably having bad dreams about this animation by now, once again here’s our image that alternates between the PDF version of the Microsoft Word document I created, and the CBS News “original.”
Also see this entry, for a similar comparison with another one of the CBS Killian memos: Another Document Experiment: 19 May 1972.
And here is a high resolution version, prepared by one of our readers who is a PhD researcher in image registration (alignment) in the Department of Radiology at a very well-known university, who applied a customized computer program to find the best rotation, alignment, and scaling for the two images—producing an even more perfect match: Link to image.
UPDATE at 9/16/04 5:28:38 pm:
The high resolution version is the one you see at the top of the LGF page, scaled down.
