Norman Borlaug: A Hero Dies
Norman Borlaug passed away yesterday. He most likely did more for humanity than anyone in history. Most of the people whose lives he saved were extremely poor, in Mexico, Pakistan and India. Despite a boatload of awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize, nearly nobody know who he was. He deserves, but likely will not get, the media attention and elaborate memorials given to politicians who did far less public good, and much more public evil. R.I.P.
It is very likely he saved on billion lives.
