One hundred years ago today, the world’s greatest anti-poverty warrior was born in Iowa. He didn’t lead marches or devise an innovative new government program. Norman Borlaug bred plants and, in so doing, launched a Green Revolution that saved the lives of perhaps a billion people. Comedians Penn and Teller, not in jest and along with many others, have called him the greatest person to ever live — but few Americans have ever heard of him.

Don’t ask impertinent questions like that jackass Adept Lu.
