"Norman Ernest Borlaug (March 25, 1914 – September 12, 2009) was an American agronomist, humanitarian, and Nobel laureate who has been deemed the father of the Green Revolution. Borlaug was one of only six people to have won the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. He was also a recipient of the Padma Vibhushan, India's second-highest civilian honor.
Borlaug's discoveries have been estimated to have saved over one billion lives worldwide." Personally, I up that number to 2.5 billion. Norman Borlaug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Norman Borlaug - Biography (Nobelprize.org hasn't heard either?) http://www.thedickinsonpress.com/eve...group/Opinion/

I thought you were talking about the actor from the TV show about a guy who finds a super suit, but loses the instruction manual.

C'mon guys, read the links. Your reacting to the term Green Revolution, but it's got nothing to do with the current 'go green' PR BS we're hearing these days. The Green revolution had to do with growing viable food crops in harsh conditions & feeding people in third world countries.
This man has fed billions in places such as Mexico, India, & Africa.
