I have seen references both ways and would appreciate a
definative answer but my current desk almanac states that the
following would be three consecuative seconds:
      Thu. 11:59:59 pm
      Thu. 12:00:00 pm
      Fri. 12:00:01 am
This would have the undesirable feature of having the am/pm break
between 1200 and 1201, but has the desirable feature of having
midnight belong to the previous day.  That is midnight Thursday
follows Thursday evening which I believe corresponds to most
people's use of the word.  Note however that in 24 hour time Thu.
2359 is followed by Fri. 0000 not Thu. 2400.  Comments?
