[Vision2020] Norman Borlaug

[lfalen]

There is a nice little article in the July 30 issue of "Newsweek" on Norman Borlaug. He has just received the Congressional Gold Medal. Only five people have ever won the Nobel Pease Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Congressional  Gold Medal. They are: Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Elie Wiesel and Norman Borlaug. Borglaug is an Agronomist and is credited with saving the lives of over a billion people for his work on improving the production of wheat in Mexico, India and China. He is 93 and still going strong. I met him  about 1980 in Tucson.
