...build the reputation of the SAT, which was first used experimentally in 1926. The board desperately wanted the University of California, then the biggest university in the nation, to fully adopt the test. In 1962, as Nicholas Lemann says in his brilliant history, The Big Test, an SAT honcho wrote to his colleagues of the dire consequences if U.C. decided to end its then limited use of the test: "If they drop the SAT, we will lose a great deal more than the revenue; we will suffer a damaging blow to our prestige...
...rhetoric is bound to increase in coming days as House Councils push their Masters to relent on the issue. (The Undergraduate Council's head honcho for UKA, Todd E.

But ex-Goldman Sachs honcho Jon Corzine put $34 million of his own money into all the right pockets. He greased New Jersey Democrat "party-builders" and got out the vote instead of blowing it all on advertising (though he did plenty of that too - $34 million allows you a certain flexibility). He broke all records for Senate campaign spending, and the main event is yet to come...
