One bleak, sparsely populated country is by far the world's greatest seller and reservoir of oil, and one dour, ascetic and shrewd man is its undisputed ruler...

Within a few years, one-third of the wheat area and one-fifth of the rice area in non-Communist Asia were planted with the miracle seeds...
