| We benefited greatly from the advice and participation of the advisory board of the project. Frederick T. Steeper and Stanley B. Greenberg, Republican and Democratic pollsters respectively, participated in the workshops with policy practitioners and contributed to the development of the poll questionnaire, as well as providing broader ideas and insights. Also particularly helpful were Jodie Allen, Bill Frenzel, Alexander L. George, Catherine Gwin, John Mueller, Ernest J. Wilson III, Daniel Yankelovich, and Susan C. Schwab, dean of the university of Maryland School of Public Affairs, where CISSM is based. |
| Others contributed important ideas to the project's nationwide poll and to the development of the ideas for this book. Especially helpful on the poll were Morton H. Halperin, Alan Kay, John Margolis, and Jeremy Rosner. This book benefited from the critical commentary provided at our October 1997 conference by Celinda Lake, Frederick T. Steeper, Maxine Isaacs, Bruce Jentleson, Norman Ornstein, Hodding Carter, Arnold Kanter, Jessica Mathews, and Stephen Rademaker. The book manuscript was reviewed by James Lindsay, Richard Haass, Ole Holsti, Robert Shapiro, and Michael O'Hanlonall of whom offered helpful suggestions for which the book is the stronger. Nancy Davidson was exceptionally helpful as acquisitions editor of the book for the Brookings Institution Press. Debbie Hardin edited the text, Carlotta Ribar proofread the pages, and Mary Mortensen provided the index. |
| Numerous personnel at PIPA offered invaluable assistance throughout. Michelle Bright and Kate Allen provided key support conducting research and generally managing the project. James Rice, PIPA's director of communications, helped to disseminate the findings of the study and to organize the conference. Dominic Treglia, Annie Macintyre, and Linda Powell provided assistance in a variety of ways. Several students at the School of Public Affairs also provided research assistance and operational support: Christa Cochran, Jason Thomas, and, above all, Robert Gerber and Michael Kunst. Tim McDonald performed the arduous fact checking. |
