...place, that of the man closest to the presidential ear, was taken. In it sat Alexander Voloshin, Yeltsin's chief of staff and the public face of the clique of confidantes that now surrounds the President, an inner circle known in the Russian press as "the Family." The other core Family members are Yeltsin's daughter Tatyana Dyachenko and Voloshin's predecessor, Valentin Yumashev, a former journalist who ghostwrote Yeltsin's memoirs. Days before the sacking, the trio drew up a list of candidate-heirs. But in the end, there was only one. Yeltsin wanted Putin...
Enter Davy Crockett...er...I mean, former President Gerald Ford, a Michigan alumnus who last week wrote an extraordinary opinion piece for the New York Times, defending the race-conscious admission policies that are at the core of the Michigan cases. Ford warned that if the courts forbid Michigan to use race, along with other factors that the school employs to select its student body--including economic standing, geographic origin, athletic and artistic achievement--they would turn back the clock to an era when minorities "were isolated and penalized for the color of their skin...or national ancestry."

Buddhists, sure, but what about nudists...
That said, I would recommend this product only for hard-core audiophiles. The fact is, you could hook almost any stereo receiver into your PC; the PC Home Theater is just supposed to simplify the process through its onscreen "remote control" and by using that handy USB port. Yet I found the system klugey. For instance, I have a TV tuner in my PC, but since the Yamaha device bypasses the sound card the tuner resides on, the TV system doesn't work. A spokesman said I could fix the problem with the right adapters...
