"An intrepid 18-year- old, clad only in his boxers, rushed into the bitter cold yesterday morning to save the lives of three young brothers who fell through the iced-over surface of a Long Island canal.

.......'I really didn't think about it,' said the youngster, who hopes one day to be a cop. 'I heard the screaming and I just ran down there . . . I heard the older brother screaming, 'We're going to die! We're going to die!'"

One day he'll be in uniform. We are already drooling in an indignified manner.
