Summary

This quote suggests that standardized testing companies, such as ACT, SAT, and GRE, have monopolized different aspects of the education system, dividing their markets geographically. The quote implies that these companies have little motivation to reform their testing practices as they continue to profit from these exclusive arrangements. Essentially, the absence of competition allows these companies to maintain their control over admissions tests, despite potential criticisms or demands for change.

And New York is the most beautiful city in the world? It is not far from it. No urban night is like the night there... Squares after squares of flame, set up and cut into the aether. Here is our poetry, for we have pulled down the stars to our will.

We go through the whole season working on next season's car and developing the car and making sure we fit in the car and all that sort of stuff. And we obviously give ideas of what we would hope next year's car would have even if it's small things like buttons on the steering wheel and different positions and whatever.
