Pretty good. Just a couple of cursory notes (I will need more time to digest): As I said to Zoltan, the Communists were the bigger long term threat, but the Axis was a more immediate crisis, and therefore those who defeated it should be given priority; although medical advances are very important, I think that the kind of society we live in takes precedence; and I am a bit thrown off by your inclusion of the Dalai Lama (a good fellow, to be sure)......

Pretty good. Although I'd remove Salk and replace with Sabine.

After all, Salk's vaccine killed or led to the illness of many with lasting effects. I think Sabine's replaced Salk's soon afterward.

Not sure if the Dalai Lama or Mother Teresa qualify. If you're going to pick a Catholic leader, what about John Paul II?

This is fun, I get to take potshots at other guys' lists without making my own list.
