Fourteen months ago, just before U.S. clocks went on War Time to speed arms production, a Gallup poll found 57% of the public in favor of a change from Standard Time, 30% opposed, 13% with no opinion.

As a result, the present Congress lacks the critical eye of a unified minority, and the Old Guard continues to approach their old level of influence...
