A woman imagines her State Department son clean-shaven

The same lady asked Neville's help about her bearded son in the State Department in the Near East; Neville told her to imagine kissing him and feeling smooth skin, and afterwards he saw the son clean-shaven in a New York Times social page photograph, though she credited the shave to a girl who disliked the beard rather than to her own imaginal act.

    Reasoning v1.1/l0.5/retype/w1: type stated -> bound. The note quotes the lecture as saying this happened 'long before hippies came into being' - a past-tense reference to a broader cultural era, not the source dating the event itself, so this is an inferred boundary rather than a stated date.
