New legislation giving parents a voice in deciding their twins' school placement situation (same or separate classrooms) was passed in Minnesota in spring 2005. Since then, parents in several other states have started petitions and lobbying efforts to persuade their senators and representatives to follow suit. A review and update of these exciting developments is presented, followed by a report from the recently established Asian Society for Twin Studies. Reviews of two new twin studies — bases of political attitudes and age effects on dizygotic twinning — are presented. The uniquely informative lives of several twin pairs are also documented.
