Each of the following events happened on September 19. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom!

• A) The medical drama ER debuts on NBC, and becomes one of the highest-rated programs on TV. It ends up launching the careers of several actors, most notably George Clooney and Juliana Margulies.
• B) New Zealand becomes the first self-governing nation to grant women the right to vote in national elections. It would be 27 more years before American women are granted the same right.
• C) New York Yankees star relief pitcher Mariano Rivera secures his record-setting 602nd career save. When he retires two years later, Rivera, considered the sport's greatest closer, has an unprecedented 652 saves.
• D) A 35,000-word manifesto by the Unabomber, an anti-technology terrorist, is published by The New York Times and Washington Post in the hope that someone will recognize the person who, for 17 years, had been sending homemade bombs through the mail that had killed and maimed innocent people around the US. After reading the manifesto, David Kaczynski links the writing style to that of his older brother Ted, who is later convicted of the attacks and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
