One of the complaints about the Bush documents is the quality of the
centering of various titles and the fact that such things couldn't be done in the
1970's. One of the first algorithms I learned in high-school typing class in 1962
was how to accurately center text easily and quickly:

     Step 1. Fold a piece of paper shortwise and insert it into the
typewriter in order to locate the center of the page.

     Step 2. Set a mechanical stop on the fold. Take the folded piece of
paper out of the carriage and dispose of it. (These first two steps only have to
be done once, of course.)

     Step 3. Insert a clean piece of paper. Tab to the center-of-page stop.
Press the backspace key once for every two characters in the line that you wish
to center.

     Step 4. Type the line of text to be centered.

     Step 5. Voila.
