Neville recalls his father, mother and brother each telling him that success is a matter of who you know.

Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [535196] belong to telling lecture nids [1264]. 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 1967-06-06.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1264 (certain delivery 1967-06-06); 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 1967-06-06 on nid 1264 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
before 6 March 1967
bound
Reasoning
The remembered statements precede their telling. The carrier's own pre-strip document head directly supports 1967-03-06 and outranks the circular 1967-06-06 legacy claim from which the older bound was derived.

Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 014)
Reasoning
'My father once told me, my mother once told me, my brother once told me' (passage 535196). Neville's father is dead by November 1959 (5951, 15157), so the father's saying was earlier; the mother's and brother's are not dated separately.
