...formal was the outdoor tent in the courtyard, which housed said open bar, a handful of small dining tables, and a light jazz band that made up for not being good by…well, just being there. (The swing-dancing couples didn’t seem to care who was playing, anyway.) And while some cost-cutting measures were evident—note to Lev HoCo: FlyBy could recognize that second-rate HUDS hummus and tabouli anywhere—the 510 students who purchased tickets got to experience something entirely new: for one night, at least, Leverett was cool...

If there's any reason to hope that things might be different this time, it comes from looking at what is driving the conversation. In the early 1990s, the argument was all about covering the 37 million or so uninsured. In 2009, after much of the rhetoric on last year's campaign trail focused...
