Another great resource is the tz database [0].
It includes some great vignettes as well as the time zone rules: From Larry M. Smith (2006-04-26) re Wisconsin:
http://www.legis.state.wi.us/statutes/Stat0175.pdf ...
is currently enforced at the 01:00 time of change. Because the local "bar time" in the state corresponds to 02:00, a number of citations are issued for the "sale of class 'B' alcohol after prohibited hours" within the deviated hour of this change every year.... From Winston Churchill (1934-04-28):
It is one of the paradoxes of history that we should owe the boon of summer time, which gives every year to the people of this country between 160 and 170 hours more daylight leisure, to a war which plunged Europe into darkness for four years, and shook the foundations of civilization throughout the world.
