| Norman E. Borlaug, the plant scientist who did more than anyone else in the 20th century to teach the world to feed itself and whose work was credited with saving hundreds of millions of lives, died Saturday night. He was 95 and lived in Dallas. |
Norman Borlaug won the World Food Prize, Nobel Peace Prize, Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. Oh, and he also help feed a world's population that still continues to grow exponentially.

This article is not really amenable to a quick quote, but it's an interestign re-evaluation of Borlaug's impact.
