" ... This book offers extensive coverage of two of the year's biggest stories, the United States presidential election and the centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta. The campaign report includes exclusive photographs that capture Bill Clinton and Bob Dole from intimate, unguarded perspectives. The Olympics section collects the most memorable moments of the Atlanta Games from the golden sneakers of sprinter Michael Johnson to the vaulting courage of gymnast Kerri Strug ..." " ... Some of the most compelling events of 1996 took place in regions far removed from the world's capital cities. Tragedy struck ... as eight mountain climbers died in [a] one day ... blizzard atop Mount Everest. A more deadly event also took place ... when TWA Flight 800, bound from New York to Paris, burst into flames and plunged into the waters off Long Island, killing all 230 people aboard. And the year's most surprising story ... millions of miles from earth ... [see] scientists claim to have found evidence that life in some form may once have existed on Mars."

Michael Downing is obsessed with Daylight Saving, the loopy idea that became the most persistent political controversy in American history. Almost one hundred years after Congressmen and lawmakers in every state first debated, ridiculed, and then passionately embraced the possibility of saving an hour of daylight, no one can say for sure why we are required by law to change our clocks twice a year. Who first proposed the scheme? The most authoritative sources agree it was a Pittsburgh industrialist, Woodrow Wilson, a man on a horse in London, a Manhattan socialite, Benjamin Franklin, one of the Caesars, or the anonymous makers of ancient Chinese and Japanese water clocks. Spring Forward is a portrait of public policy in the 20th century, a perennially boiling cauldron of unsubstantiated science, profiteering masked as piety, and mysteriously shifting time–zone boundaries. It 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, sports fanatics, and railroad execs.
