...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.

But there was another all-star team playing in Cooperstown that weekend: eight miles up the road, Glimmerglass Opera was presenting the world premiere of Central Park, a trio of one-act operas with librettos by three top playwrights: A.R. Gurney (Love Letters), Terrence McNally (Master Class) and Wendy Wasserstein (The Heidi Chronicles).
