Neville follows reports of a scientific congress on sperm

Neville followed the daily Los Angeles Times reports of a scientific congress in Montreal, and one scientist's paper on the mystery of the sperm passing through an unbroken egg surface set him thinking.

    Reasoning Passage 548723 states the Montreal scientific congress was reported in the LA Times 'Last December' relative to the lecture's own 'this morning' framing. The carrying lecture (node 1913) has a preferred delivery-date claim of 1965-02-19 at confidence=probable in this packet, so 'last December' computes to December 1964. Confidence is capped at the lecture's own preferred delivery confidence (probable), the weakest link; qualifier is circa and no day is given since only a month is witnessed for the congress reports, not a specific date.
