520    "Three generations of imbeciles are enough." Few lines 
       from Supreme Court opinions are as memorable as this 
       declaration by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. in the 
       landmark 1927 case Buck v. Bell. The ruling allowed states
       to forcibly sterilize residents in order to prevent 
       "feebleminded and socially inadequate" people from having 
       children. It is the only time the Supreme Court endorsed 
       surgery as a tool of government policy. Paul Lombardo's 
       startling narrative exposes the Buck case's fraudulent 
       roots.
