After seven years of power, business-like Dictator Kemal is itching to save wasted hours. But he is cautious. Last week he merely tabled before the National Assembly a bill which, if taken up and passed, would make the first day of the Turkish week fall on what is now the third, the second on the fourth, the third on the fifth, and so on. This would make Juma, the day of rest and worship, fall on the Christian Sunday, yet preserve the traditional sequence of Turkish days of the week. Even simpler than daylight saving, the Kemal plan...
