Leo Sternbach, Valium's Inventor, Dies:
Valium was the country's most prescribed drug from 1969 to 1982. Nicknamed 'Mother's Little Helper' after the Rolling Stones song, it was three times more potent than its predecessor, Librium, another member of the class of tranquilizers invented by Sternbach.
