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.

Happy Belated Birthday Dr. Borlaug!

Carry on.
