Heavyweight pass: CHL catalog record for October 1954 could not be verified this session (client-rendered SPA, no browser-tool access); IA scan conferencereport1954sa kept as retained top-level source per docs/review.md. Page-by-page collation against the scan (leaves 86-89, printed pp. 86-89) reveals this is not a regular conference-session talk but the CBS Radio 'Church of the Air' broadcast presented 9:00-9:30 a.m., Sunday, October 3, 1954 (Third Day), by Elder Richard L. Evans (Council of the Twelve), titled by Evans himself 'We Are Not Alone in Life' (announced verbatim in the printed transcript, not a supplied title). Corrected title from the OCR-derived opening fragment to the actual named title; set title_supplied: false since the title is directly attested in the source. Set exact date and session to reflect the broadcast framing (scriptures/hymn introductions and CBS announcer copy surrounding the address were correctly excluded from the body per boundary rules). Body of the address itself matches scan verbatim; no missing text.
