I have to disagree. Chuck Yeagher was a true hero. Neil Armstrong and the other astronauts and cosmonauts were, and are, heroes. Knievel must be put into the same category in which we find others whom people look up to for no really good reason except that they are celebrities. Getting your name in the papers and on the tube doesn't automatically make you heroic. Just popular.
