His niece by marriage, home for a week before flying to Vietnam, came back excited with news of film stars aboard the family's yacht Orion in Barbados, where Frank Sinatra sent his private plane to Miami to fetch spaghetti for a party — which Neville uses to mock the flattery of shadows.

Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [535151] belong to telling lecture nids [1262]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1967 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1967 is the MIN across telling lectures.

bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1967 to before 1967-02-24.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1262 (certain delivery 1967-02-24); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1967`, an envelope over delivery YEARS computed without reading text. Its premise is that the fact is true by the time it is told; on that same premise the DAY of the telling is a strictly better upper bound. Nothing is re-decided — the bound is stated to the precision the evidence always supported. The delivery claim for 1967-02-24 on nid 1262 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

Reasoning
She 'was home... for the next week or so' and 'brings the news' (passage 535151, delivered 1967-02-24, certain): the yacht party was recent, in the Barbados winter season before the telling. Window only.
