I urged local newspapers to track down Norman Borlaug — oops! Turns out he’s in my town. The Dallas Morning News features a story on Norman Borlaug today.
Hey, P. Z. Myers — he’s out of the University of Minnesota system. He says seeds professors and coaches plant today can yield big stuff, but later.

Retired teacher of law, economics, history, AP government, psychology and science. Former speechwriter, press guy and legislative aide in U.S. Senate. Former Department of Education. Former airline real estate, telecom towers, Big 6 (that old!) consultant. Lab and field research in air pollution control. My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting.

It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

C’mon back and comment on what you can read! Thanks for dropping by.

“And I get almost no comments. I don’t like what that probably says about this blogger. Rats.”
Comment!
Something wonky is going on with your page. I’m using IE (it’s The Devil – I know) and a few characters worth of text on the left hand side of the text area is falling into the dark blue background making it damned near impossible to read. When I click to comment, though, the article is perfectly centered in the white area.
