Which cities are on a different clock?
United States does not kick off once. New York, Chicago, Denver, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Anchorage, Honolulu are listed separately because the time-zone database gives them different offsets on this date, or because readers look for those cities by name. The first line, New York at 7:00pm, is the one in the title. The table is the rest of the country. Using the title time in a city that the table shows later or earlier is how a correct national page still makes someone miss the whistle.
