Opinion research organizations generously provided helpful advice, numerous reports and tables summarizing opinion polls, and permission to publish data and tables: American Institute of Public Opinion; Louis Harris and Associates; Louis Harris Political Data Center; National Opinion Research Center; Roper Research Associates; and the University of Michigan Survey Research Center. Naturally, these organizations and their representatives are not responsible for the conclusions and interpretations we have drawn that may have differed from theirs. Finally, other members of the staff worked tirelessly to finish on time: Charles Carey, Howard Erlanger, Sam McCormack, and Richard Speiglman. Nancy Leonard was our Washington, D.C. research assistant, and was invaluable in getting necessary materials to the Berkeley staff. Our office staff was tireless, devoted, intelligent, and tolerant. Given our deadlines, we needed tolerance most of all. Finally, my wife, Dr. Arlene Skolnick, served as a consultant on social psychology, helped with the editing, and, best of all, gave birth to Alexander Michael's brother, on September 29, 1968.
