The documents were supposed to be unveiled in a worldwide public relations campaign, peaking with the November '97 release of a highly touted book by Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh, and a prime-time TV documentary, both based on the documents. Media reports falsely concluded the six typewritten pages were bogus, when ABC claimed that the typewriter used to draft the pages wasn't built until after the Kennedy years. This assertion has since proven totally untrue. After the alleged forgery was detailed by ABC, handwritten papers were reanalyzed by FBI-trained experts, who determined them to be authentic. Experts have also proven the typewriter and equipment used in the typed pages did indeed exist in Kennedy's day.
Logical explanations exist for any and every point raised by the media.
Because of irresponsible reporting by the networks, the US media has taken it as gospel that the papers are bogus, when nothing could be further from the truth. Also due to media irresponsibility, a witch hunt by the US Attorney has made Lex Cusack's life and that of his wife and four children a virtual hell for the past year and a half. Accused by the federal government of forgery, Cusack was arrested in his Connecticut home without even being given an opportunity to surrender. Since then, Cusack and everyone associated with him have been harassed mercilessly. Lex Cusack's trial is scheduled to begin in Federal Court, Manhattan, in the Spring of1999.
