Here is another (how shall I put it ) more MAINSTREAM account of the man -- Colonel Stanislav Petrov ( his picture is also shown ). This from the Christian Science Monitor :

of course if you want an even more "mainstream" source, you can read this piece of news from CBS :

Man Honored For Averting Nuke War

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/05/21/world/main618901.shtml

So, what do we have ? A right wing news source, a more conservative mainstream news source and a liberal news source actually AGREEING on history.

This gives the editorial credibility IMHO.
