To my father and the memory of my mother

Contents

The genesis of this book begins in an unusual place: Gate 20 of the old University of Minnesota football stadium, since demolished to make room for the scarcest resource on the campus of an urban university (parking). In the fall of 1990, 1 had begun my first faculty position in the Division of Epidemiology in the University of Minnesota School of Public Health (UMSPH). The division at the time was spread across a couple of buildings on the East Bank campus of the UM, including a couple of suites of offices that had been built in the innards of the old football stadium, where my office was located. Despite its unprepossessing outward and inward appearance, Gate 20 and Gate 27 of the old stadium had an impressive history and present, including being the location at which Dr. Ancel Keys did the pioneering research that resulted in the development of the K-ration.

I had trained as a sociologist at the Catholic University of America. My areas of focus were organizations and social movements, and I had the great fortune of having the opportunity to work as a research assistant for a top sociologist of social movements, and wonderful mentor, John McCarthy, who has since moved on to Perm State. When I began working with him in 1984, John had just received the first of two National Science Foundation grants to study the citizens movement against drinking and driving. John, Debra Harvey, Teresa Ankney, and I (John Crist joined the project at a later stage) surveyed over four hundred local anti-drinking-and-driv-ing citizens groups throughout the country, with an eye to understanding the interaction of organizational and environmental factors in explaining the emergence, growth, development, and impact of these groups.
