Summary

This quote highlights the contrasting experiences between the general American population and government officials in Washington, D.C. While Friday afternoons symbolize excitement and anticipation for the weekend for most Americans, it holds another significance for politicians. It suggests that government officials often use this time to release or disclose unfavorable stories or information they hope will go unnoticed or be overshadowed by the approaching weekend. Conversely, positive news is revealed on Mondays to ensure bureaucrats can discuss and amplify it throughout the week. In this way, the quote implies a deliberate strategic approach to shaping public perception and minimizing public scrutiny.

Reality, in fact, is usually something you could not have guessed. That is one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It is a religion you could not have guessed. If it offered us just the kind of universe we had always expected, I should feel we were making it up. But, in fact, it is not the sort of thing anyone would have made up. It has just that queer twist about it that real things have. So let us leave behind all these boys' philosophies--these over simple answers. The problem is not simple and the answer is not going to be simple either.
