...turned out, neither Zeigler nor any other Army player was any help against powerful Michigan. In their five meetings over the past ten years, the Cadets had beaten the Wolverines every time. But last week Michigan counterattacked with a vengeance. Halfback Terry Barr slammed through the porous Army line for the first touchdown soon after the kickoff, then sprinted 82 yards to score a second time. Michigan added two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Butter-fingered Army lost eight of its nine fumbles, completed only one pass all afternoon, while Michigan romped to a 26-2 triumph...

In Let's Join the Human Race he outlines a plan for a giant International development Authority, similar to this country's T.V.A.

But Barr also had some good news. The company plans to open 100 new catalogue-order offices by the end of next year, the first sizable...
...Bethesda's most engaging gadgets is a walkie-talkie electrocardiograph about the size of a hearing aid. Developed by Captain Norman Barr, it is strapped to a patient, who goes for a walk or plays tennis while his doctor sits back in the control room, hears the patient's heart sounds on an amplifier, watches the electrical pattern on an oscilloscope and gets a tracing of this in ink. Dr. (ex-pilot) Barr has two models: one with a range of a mile, one with a range of 80 to 100 miles that he uses to study aviators...
