  2977 # I surveyed recent news reports, and my impression is that "PST" is
       
  2978 # more popular among reliable English-language news sources.  This is
       
  2979 # not just a measure of Google hit counts: it's also the sizes and
       
  2980 # influence of the sources.  There is no current abbreviation for DST,
       
  2981 # so use "PDT", the usual American style.

  3015 # Timekeeping differed depending on who you were and which part of Saudi
       
  3016 # Arabia you were in.  In 1969, Elias Antar wrote that although a common
       
  3017 # practice had been to set one's watch to 12:00 (i.e., midnight) at sunset -
       
  3018 # which meant that the time on one side of a mountain could differ greatly from
       
  3019 # the time on the other side - many foreigners set their watches to 6pm
       
  3020 # instead, while airlines instead used UTC +03 (except in Dhahran, where they
       
  3021 # used UTC +04), Aramco used UTC +03 with DST, and the Trans-Arabian Pipe Line
       
  3022 # Company used Aramco time in eastern Saudi Arabia and airline time in western.
       
  3023 # (The American Military Aid Advisory Group used plain UTC.)  Antar writes,
       
  3024 # "A man named Higgins, so the story goes, used to run a local power
       
  3025 # station. One day, the whole thing became too much for Higgins and he
       
  3026 # assembled his staff and laid down the law. 'I've had enough of this,' he
       
  3027 # shrieked. 'It is now 12 o'clock Higgins Time, and from now on this station is
       
  3028 # going to run on Higgins Time.' And so, until last year, it did."  See:
