Since 1976 a meeting devoted to recent research on cataclysmic
variables ("CV workshop") has been held annually somewhere in North
America. Many of the meetings have been held - following a custom
older than anyone reading this book - in locations with well-known
recreational potential (e. g. Santa Cruz, CA; Boulder, CO). We
thought hard about this custom while contemplating the possibility
of organi zing a meeting in Massachusetts in the middle of winter.
Nobody wants their meeting to go down in history as the smallest
and dullest, and it ~ surely be the coldest. But on occasion,
meeting organizers have defied custom and scheduled meetings for
less~than-trendy places, and gotten away with it (Ur*bana, IL and
Rochester, NY must be reckoned as examples of this). Encouraged by
the spatial and temporal proximity of the American Astronomical
Society meeting (Boston, January 9-12), we thought we might get
away with it again, and so came to organize a meeting for January
12-15, 1983, in Cambridge, MA. There was another reason for a
meeting at this time and place, we loftily proclaimed in early
mailings. No one doubts that the CV's are closely related to the
low-mass X-ray binaries ("LMXB' s"), in which the accreting star is
usually, or perhaps always, more compact than a white dwarf. Many
of the general characteristics of LMXB's sound pretty familiar to
any student of CV's: orbital periods in the range 0.
