Dr. Norman Borlaug
Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader was taking a drive in the Villainmobile last week and heard this wonderful interview on NPR with Dr. Norman Borlaug. Over the weekend, in a telephone conversation with the Minister of Agriculture, your Maximum Leader discussed the interview and the original “Green Revolution” but could not remember the Dr’s name. He had a few moments to do some internet searching and here are some interesting links.
NPR : Father of ‘Green Revolution’ Derides Organic Movement (Audio Link for those of you with lots of bandwidth.)
The Atlantic Magazine: Forgotten Benefactor of Humanity.
Techcentral Station: The Man who defused the “Bomb”
Happy Belated Birthday Dr. Borlaug!
Carry on.
