It was George Herbert Walker Bush who, in his 1988 presidential nomination acceptance speech, coined the phrase, “a thousand points of light in a broad and peaceful sky.” Bush was often ridiculed by those who had not listened to the first part of his speech and did not understand his metaphor. Bush’s “lights” were diverse communities that came together to form the nation.
Just as Bush drew parallels between communities and the night sky, in the community of manufacturing there is a sky called, “quality.” What are the points of light in that section of sky? What image do they form?
