(The Kiss Of Life by Rocco Morabito, 1968 Pulitzer Prize.
Jacksonville Journal photographer Rocco Morabito is on his way to photograph a railroad strike when he notices Jacksonville Electric Authority linemen high up on the poles. “I passed these men working and went on to my assignment,” says Morabito. “I took eight pictures at the strike. I thought I’d go back and see if I could rind another picture.”
But when Morabito gets back to the linemen, “I heard screaming. I looked up and I saw this man hanging down. Oh my God. I didn’t know what to do.” The linemen. Randall Champion, is dangling upside down in his safety belt — felled bv 4,160 volts of electricity.
“I took a picture right quick.” says Morabito. “J.D. Thompson (another lineman) was running toward the pole. I went to my car and called an ambulance. I got back to the pole and J.D. was breathing into Champion.” Cradling the stricken lineman in his arms, Thompson rhythmically pushes air into Champion’s lungs. Below. Morabito makes pictures — and prays.
“I backed off. way off until I hit a house and I couldn’t go any farther. I took another picture”, it is a prize-winning photograph, but Morahito’s real concern is the injured lineman. Thompson finally shouts down: “He’s breathing.” Champion survives.)
Champion lived until 2002 and died of heart failure. Thompson is still alive.------------------------------------------------------------------

British soldier Horace Greasley stares down Himmler.
A click historic Himmler and Greasley. In the collective imagination the two had fights with his eyes. In fact Greasley did not have the faintest idea who the man was that he was looking straight into my eyes.
Horace Greasley, who died on February 4, 2010, aged 91, holds a unique record among the prisoners of war of World War II - as many as 200 attempts to escape from prison camps, only to return each time.
The reason for the continuous leakage of Greasley, who set every time his life was in danger was simple: he had a love affair with a German girl from the nearby village, Rosa Rauchbach, which ran risks even further, solely on the ground to help a prisoner of war enemy.------------------------------------------------------------------
