I think what happens in the world of national and international politics is important to our lives and our future, and we ignore it at our peril.
And yet, talking politics (or writing about [...]]]></description>

I began writing seriously when I was about thirteen. Out streamed poetry, stories and novels, the latter of which were always aborted early, usually half way through the second chapter. It took my friend Douglas Adams to encourage me to go further [...]]]></description>

Borlaug solved that challenge by developing genetically unique strains of &#8220;semidwarf&#8221; wheat, and later rice, that raised food yields as much as sixfold. The result was that a country like India was able [...]]]></description>
