Spiro Pavlovich allegedly pulled the veil over Harvard's eyes twice. He was accepted to Harvard Law School in 1968 after allegedly forging his academic records from Tulane University. He survived at the Law School for two-and-a-half years before being challenged.
A Louisiana law firm became suspicious when he claimed in an interview to be the great grandnephew of Czar Nicholas of Russia. He also said he was an avid skin diver, but bared his ignorance about the sport when one of the law firm's partners, a scuba enthusiast, asked him about it.
However, no one prosecuted Pavlovich so he was free to return to the Law School in 1973 after allegedly having falsified a federal loan application. He lasted another two years before he was once again tripped up by a law firm in New York when he told an interviewer who was a Louisiana State University football fan that he had been a placekicker at the school.
It was during her husband's second stint at Harvard that Monette succumbed to the lure of the Harvard sheepskin and entered the Business School. She told the court yesterday she had only wanted to get a master's degree in business administration at Harvard.
