Let's give it another 40 posts or so and if nobody comes up with the answer, ping me and I'll give you the answer.

Hint: His work is the reason that a lot of countries who used to be total basket cases are now not only self-sufficient but exporting food.

The Greek letter that stands for DEATH.

They were onto something, but the problem was not to be the death of the planet, but the death of the soul.

Paul Ehrlich = the secular counterpart of Harold Camping.

Harold Camping admitted he was wrong before he died.

I’m still waiting for Ehrlich to do his part.

I don't recognize him. Who is he?

His name is Borlaug.

Shortly after Erlich promised that over-population was going to starve India dead, Borlaug doubled their wheat yield.

from Wikipedia:

Zager and Evans no longer perform as a duo, but they both remain in the music industry and remain friends. Zager now builds custom guitars at Zager Guitars, which is based in Lincoln, Nebraska.

I was in college then.
It seemed odd to me that most of the ardent advocates were heavy cigarette smokers.

Believe my father was reading some of this doomsday ap-cray.
I think he was genuinely concerned - probably first, for our family, then our country.

Wish he were alive to see we’re all doing pretty good.

I was still in the Marine Corps then, doing my part to save Mother Earth.
