Heavyweight pass: collated against the IA djvu OCR witness. This file had merged FOUR distinct things after Lee's actual remarks: (1) Joseph Fielding Smith's closing blessing/prayer — split out to its own file, 1970-10-smith-my-dear-brethren-and-sisters-as-we.md; (2) Lee's separate post-blessing thank-you/announcements remarks; (3) the full 'Music and the Spoken Word' CBS broadcast script by Richard L. Evans; (4) the conference music summary and the printed back-of-report INDEX. All of (2)-(4) are non-talk session material and were removed; this file now ends where Lee's actual address ends. Exact date set to Oct 4, 1970 (Sunday morning, seventh/closing session) per the report's own session heading.
