I'm three days home from' a crash 'trip to Germany: My, body feels like An old rubber boot. My mind is like an Irish stew with very little meat in it. I'm not sure what day of the week it, i,s, what -time of day i,t is, or what my first name is. Among us members of the• jet set, this condition is known as "jet lag". In plain terms, it is total exhaustion. Normally, I find it fairly. traumatic .,just to change from .__Standard to Daylight Saving time. It invariably' throws me out of gear for a couple of days. But when you go through a . time change of six hours, and • then do it backwards within a few days, the. human system can barely cope.
