I started the Optical isomerism page and agree that some of the info should be on a stereochemistry page - I don't think there'll be a tug of war. But since I don't actually no anything about stereochemistry compared to Joe above I'm probably not the man to do it. I deleted the second part of the thalidomide passage as my understanding I think is wrong. Why would each enantiomer need to be tested separately if they had tested both together and found no problems?
