Karl Kreutzfeld:
Thank you for coming to me with this. I'll of course pay whatever it is you're asking, whatever price you think is fair. And I shall accept your word that it's genuine. But if at some point I should find out that it's fake, that you tried to con me ...
Ruber's vision/hallucination shows a LIFE Magazine lying open on a table in the Room, presumably at the moment of or immediately preceding the unknown Event of 4 May 1961. Later, when the Sood is searching for information relating to the Occupant, we see a brief glimpse of the cover of the same issue of the magazine in his computer's "Object Catalog Scan." But the date of that issue - which features Eisenhower on the cover - is from 7 July 1961, so it can't possibly have been there before or at the time of the Event because it literally didn't yet exist.
