...Lerner last month when a gallant band of rescuers worked around the clock to pull seven-year-old Benny Hooper Jr. out of a well shaft at Manorville, L.I. (TIME, May 27). One of that gallant band was the Eastport volunteer fire department's physician. Dr. Joseph H. Kris. Called in by police, he stood by for almost 24 hours, supervising the piping of oxygen to the trapped...
...week after the rescue. Dr. Kris -a former G.P. who now specializes in anesthesiology-visited Benny at Bayview Hospital until the boy recovered from a touch of pneumonia. He was photographed with Benny and widely praised for having saved the boy's life.

I know that he does because I've been peeking over his shoulder the last few days and saw what he had beside your name. I just thought you might like to know how things stand between...
...Nikolai started out being very good boys this year. What with Geneva and all, Kris and I both thought that things might change a bit around your place. But then came that trip. Oh, sure, I know you two had Nehru snowed, but he didn't give you many presents, did he? Of course, there's that flag that says "Indians and Russians are Brothers." But knowing the kind of guy you are, well, I really expected you'd get something more substantial...
