The Atlas Society intellectuals introduce the virtue of benevolence to soften the hard-core self-interest espoused and promoted by the ARI branch of Objectivism.
I have no problem with their adding kindness to their list of ethical virtues, but seems to be their view, not one championed by Ayn Rand herself.
Okay, Atlas Society thinkers, let us include benevolence as among our salient virtues to practice all the time. To do so consistently is necessary. Be kind to all: God, the self, pets, others, and nature itself.
