Neville wrote Sam's story in one of his books and gave him a copy; on later visits he found the book put on a top shelf out of reach and then out of sight altogether, because as a Harvard man Sam could not believe a man with no college education had helped him.

Reasoning
He wrote Sam's story in a book and gave him a copy (passage 537776); Sam recognizes his story in The Power of Awareness in 1952 (event 16837); 'a short time later' the book was on the top shelf, with a later visit finding it out of sight.
before 1968
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [537776] belong to telling lecture nids [1346]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1968 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1968 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 2 April 1968
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1968 to before 1968-04-02.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1346 (certain delivery 1968-04-02); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1968`, 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 1968-04-02 on nid 1346 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
