Time sync is foobar

Last night, I noticed that the time on my computer was off by about 20
minutes.

So,

  service ntpd stop
  ntpdate nist1-chi.ustiming.org
  service ntpd start

This morning, the time is once again off.  It appears that ntp is not
synching time.  I see nothing unusual in /var/log/messages.

Is the drift file the problem?

$more /var/lib/ntp/drift
-32.866
