green revolution


Newsweek's Jonathan Alter writes, "Only five people in history have ever won the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal: Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Elie Wiesel ... and Norman Borlaug."

Unfortunately, these days we all know more than we ever needed to know about Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, and the man who saved a billion people gets minimal coverage.

Dr. Borlaug was honored in Washington DC last week, but, Alter laments, "For Borlaug, still vital at 93, to win more notice, he would have to make his next trip to Africa in the company of Angelina Jolie."
