Tony:
The book is available at my local library - I'll check it out with
an open mind, but I just can't see what would be the difference of telling
people they need to go to work 1hr earlier instead of 'fooling' them by
changing their clocks.
Wikipedia has a long article, too - it seems the original
justification (power savings) hasn't been realized.
Thanks,
Jose

If you want to know why your suggestion doesn't work, David Prerau has
collected many many examples. http://www.seizethedaylight.com/
