HARD BALL COMPETITION, ACADEMIC STYLE
In Clearwater, Florida, twins Robin and Cathy Donovan, have filed suit to prevent a fellow Seminole High School senior from joining them at the top of the class. The 17-year-old twins and their father, George Donovan, charged the Pinellas County school board with breach of contract for denying the girls extra credit for a band class that would give them an edge over Michael Thorpe, 17. Donovan says he already has spent $3,500 on the battle. From AP, as reported in Fortune, May 13, 1985, p. 127.
