| 0:28.8 | God said, let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the |
| 0:40.6 | wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created mankind in his |

| 2:03.6 | Services Administration asked National Industries for the Blind to make 70 million pens, despite |
| 2:11.6 | NIB having never made pens before. They accepted the challenge and met all the specifications. Since |
| 2:19.7 | 1967, blind factory workers have assembled these writing instruments used extensively by military |
