ONE HOUR MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE IN A DAY. The entire day, all 24-hours is affected by an hour's slippage, either way. True, we acclimate in due course to the new regime; only just in time to be tormented again by the change in our politically prescribed time. It is almost enough to make one seek the comfort, apparent constancy of stellar sidereal time! Almost.

It is almost enough to make one seek the comfort, apparent constancy of stellar sidereal time! Almost.
