Liberals collect stories about Wasinger. Julie R. Cooper '94, an editor of the liberal monthly Perspective who lived in Wasinger's Thayer Hall entryway in their first year, recalls that on the eve of the Persian Gulf War, Wasinger had a message board on the door to his room that read, "Give war a chance, we've tried peace long enough...
...bill has been criticized as being too sweeping and too costly, some congressional Democrats have been working to forge a compromise version of the President's proposal that would take into account elements of rival plans. An alternative that is palatable to many conservatives, proposed by House Democrat Jim Cooper of Tennessee, would rely on improved market competition through voluntary purchasing cooperatives. While employers would be required to make group health insurance available to their workers under Cooper's plan, they would not be required to pay for it.

When PRESIDENT CLINTON visited Capitol Hill last week for closed-door meetings on health care, he didn't make his usual threat to veto any bill that fails to provide "universal coverage," according to Representative Jim Cooper.

...Oval Office with Senator Dave Durenberger, a Minnesota Republican on the Finance Committee. To pass health reform, Durenberger told Clinton, "you have to start in the middle, even if that doesn't get you to universal coverage" immediately. Other Senators suggested that Clinton accept something less coercive, like Cooper- Breaux, but include a "trigger" that would impose a partial employer mandate if near universal coverage is not accomplished in a year or so. Though noncommittal, Clinton said he was willing to negotiate the definition and timing of universal coverage...
