The zap through concepts that many hot young artists are chugging out these days are shrewdly calculated to nudge you exactly where it’s needed to trigger that automated response!

Time change
As daylight-saving time plunges us into the future or the past depending, I was thinking of a short story by the French author Marcel Aymé (1902-1967), read a long time ago and whose title I can’t remember. The story is based…
