N2  - "Michael Downing is obsessed with Daylight Saving, a loopy notion that has become the most persistent political controversy in American history. Spring Forward is a true-to-life social comedy with Congress in the leading role, surrounded by a supporting cast of opportunistic ministers, movie moguls, stockbrokers, labor leaders, educators, sports fanatics, and railroad execs. With wit and insight, Downing sifts through a century of information and lets the dizzyingly hilarious debate speak for itself."--
