    Reasoning Passage 543868 is Neville himself telling the Sally/nursing-school story ('So let me give you a simple little story. I'll go back now into the fifties...'). The lecture containing it (nid 1773) carries a year-only delivery claim of circa 1969 at probable confidence; the telling inherits that same year and precision.
