Contents

First and foremost I acknowledge the gracious assistance of Irving Louis Horowitz, Chairman of the Board and Editorial Director of Transaction Publishers. I benefited greatly from Irvings commitment to the worth of my effort, and I hope this finished project warrants the confidence he so generously expressed at the outset.

My editor, Andrew McIntosh, was very accommodating and helpfully responded immediately to all my questions and concerns.

University of Illinois at Chicago colleagues have assisted me by reading and commenting on early drafts of chapters and by identifying published research on specific aspects of survey research. Two deserve special recognition. Political scientist, Dick Simpson, a longtime friend, has kindly aided me throughout my academic career. Steve Wiberley, Bibliographer for the Social Sciences, fulfilled my library needs and contributed in other ways to the completion of this project.

Financial support from the University of Illinois at Chicagos Provost Office and the Department of Public Administration is recognized and appreciated.
