1852: The first edition in book form of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin is published.

1991: in an unusual 9-0 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Automobile Workers v.

(Medical tests show that men’s sperm is extremely fragile and more likely to be deformed by chemical exposure.)
