The essay humorously critiques the obsession with “normal” as a fragile ideal in work and home life. It recalls office rituals and the wish for a perfect moment when all duties align, a time when management and staff synchronize schedules and tasks vanish. The piece links this pursuit to broader fatigue with constant juggling and yearnings for stability.

The piece argues that “normal” means different things to Jim Bakker and President Reagan. Bakker longs for a return to a looser moral climate that protects his empire and illicit pleasures. Reagan desires a benign, unquestioning public, a steady ship with warm, loyal followers. Continued on Page 5A.
