Although most booksharians referred to him as Dr. Cross, and he obviously chose
to use that honorific,many Phds prefer the Mr., preferring to leave the Dr. to
medical professionals. My husband is one such. I suspect that newspapers may
also use Dr. only for doctors or dentists (since when I google Dr. Kenneth
Cross I only found dentists).
