Am finding the Ellsberg book interesting. Some of the logistics of the late '60's are surprising - Mr. Ellsberg had never used a Xerox machine prior to making copies of the McNamara reports.
3 seconds per page x 2 copies = 6 seconds per page, all hand copied one page at a time, no document feeder.
To think for a few hundred bucks he could have a document fed scanner in his basement and carry around all the top-secret documents on a flash drive on his keychain.
