    What father wouldn't love his daughter to be on the honor roll, while his son is the star of the field?

    Me. I would be happy if either were either. But then, I read Salon, so I'm not exactly typical, I suppose. One suspects our demographics are not statistically neutral.

    It seems to me, by the way, that the most meaningful statistic would be the number of both young men and young women who go to college as a percentage of those who (in theory) could. How have those numbers changed in the past generation? Are women just catching up to their proportion of the high-school graduate population, or is something else going on?
