| 1. The eight justices on the Supreme Court concurred: States may count all residents, not just eligible voters, in drawing election districts. Our Supreme Court correspondent called the decision a major statement on the fundamental American principle of “one person one vote,” and noted that, in practical terms, it will mostly aid Democrats. | 1.

| 2. Tuesday’s primary in Wisconsin will be a significant test for the Republicans. Ted Cruz, leading in state polls by up to 10 points, pressed John Kasich to drop out, saying that “the people would quite rightly revolt” if he himself or Donald Trump were not the nominee. Mr. Trump, suffering from a steady onslaught from Wisconsin’s conservative radio hosts, called on on his wife, Melania, to join him on the campaign trail for the first time. | |

| 4. Baseball season is underway, but it already hasn’t been kind to New York fans. The Yankees’ season opener against the Houston Astros was rained out, and the Mets lost a day earlier to the Kansas City Royals, the team that beat them in five games in the last World Series.

| 5. The “Panama Papers,” a huge trove of leaked documents from a Panamanian law firm, revealed that at least 140 politicians and public officials around the world have offshore bank accounts. Such accounts are not in themselves illegal, but because they are often used to hide money and avoid taxes, their existence is fomenting suspicion. Thousands of people protested in Iceland after finding out that the prime minister and his wife set up a company through the firm that has claims against Iceland’s failed banks. | 5.

| 7. Pennsylvania is reviving efforts to extend the statute of limitations in cases of child sexual abuse, galvanized by a recent grand jury report that revealed decades of cover-ups by the Roman Catholic Church in the Altoona region and supplied evidence of collusion by civil authorities. “There was no chance, if you were a victim, that you were going to get justice,” a state representative said. | 7.
