    Yesterday, we wrote roughly 5,000 words on the shooting in Minneapolis, and didn't even get to half of the things we intended to discuss. That's the price of admission around here, we suppose; everyone knows that if you're someone who needs 10,000-20,000 words to say what you want to say, the punishment is that you either have to: (1) go to grad school in history or (2) go to law school.

    The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Tuesday in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., which challenge laws that reserve women's and girls' sports divisions in government schools exclusively for females.

But more is at stake than fairness. Those same physical differences mean that allowing male bodies on the court with girls or women is dangerous. We don't allow children to play contact sports with adults because of the obvious physical risk. Similarly, though some variability exists within the male and female pools, the normal range of physical traits differs so widely between the sexes that allowing men to compete in women's sports will inevitably expose women to a heightened risk of physical harm.
