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 presents information on the book "A Generation of Change: A Profile of America's Older Generation," by Jacob S. Siegel. This book is one of a census monograph series on the population of the United States in the 1980s produced for the National Committee for Research on the 1980 Census. The committee is promoting a coordinated program of census analysis by interdisciplinary groups of scholars. This book arrived on my desk as I was preparing a paper on the future of home-based services for elderly people and was surrounded by special reports from the U.S. Census Bureau, the American Association of Retired Persons, and similar sources. The fact that this book was based on the 1980 census at first unnerved me, knowing how policy analysts, politicians, and students want the most up-to-date numbers. Much of the information in the book, however, has been updated to the mid-1980s by use of the current population reports, other government studies, and the work of specialists in gerontology.
