I am glad to now know about Harold Hering, and I think I'm going to add his story to the reading we're having tonight in NYC.

That said - there are a great many people I admire more than Petrov. Petrov is significant not because he's an amazing person, but because he literally was the person who saved the world, for good or for ill.
