This article presents the proceedings of the 57th annual conference of the American Association for Public Opinion Research held at Saint Pete Beach, Florida from May 16-19, 2002. The conference theme, Strengthening Our Community, sought to emphasize the great importance and value of the association as a community and the special needs and benefits of coming together in 2001, to reaffirm, nurture and strengthen that community while also meeting jointly with colleagues from nations throughout the world. The implications of the terrorist attacks and the war on terrorism were examined from several different perspectives, including public response both within and outside the U.S., the psychological impact on citizens, attitudes toward civil liberties and immigration and foreign policy. Paper sessions and discussions on key methodological issues included several on questionnaire development, strategies for measurement and reduction of nonresponse and nonresponse bias across all surveys. At the Saturday night awards banquet, the Student Paper Award in Memory of Seymour Sudman was presented to David Dutwin of the Annenberg School for Communication. While registration was down a bit from the record of 801 established in Montreal, Quebec, the steady growth of conference attendance in recent years has been mixed blessing.

The article provides information about the book "Proceedings of the National Conference of Social Work, 1942." The fact that the United States is again engaged in war, for the first time since 1918, dominates the tone and outlook of the latest Proceedings of the National Conference of Social Work, which held its sixty-ninth annual session in New Orleans, Louisiana on May 10-16, 1942. In his presidential address, entitled "Attacking on Social Work's Three Fronts," Shelby M. Harrison showed how social work was meeting the war challenge, first by providing skilled services in the immediate war program to the soldier and his family; second, by keeping up the home morale through the "day-by-day performance of social work's essential duties" serving the poor, the misguided, the sick, the imprisoned, the crippled, the jobless, the maladjusted, and the rest; and third, by planning for post-war reconstruction on a world-wide scale. Another speaker described the social work goal, as follows: "There may be few opportunities left for pioneering in the exploration of new territories or the exploitation of new resources, but breathtaking opportunities open up before us for pioneering in the development of relations between men and between nations."
