...Minister's closest friend, later "Canadian eye witness" at the front during World War 1 and in 1918 Minister of In formation and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. In 1917 The Beaver began making a huge Fleet Street fortune by giving London a cockeyed version of low-brow U. S. journalism. "I have all the money any man can want!" Lord Beaver brook likes to boast, slapping his trouser pocket for dramatic emphasis while conservative Britons shudder...

Like a good inventor, he tried to solve his problem the easy way: a death-dealing explosive which would annihilate whole regiments, spoil everyone's stomach for further fighting. Last week little, stocky, 53-year-old Mr. Barlow traveled from his office in Baltimore, Md. to Washington, and bounded into a meeting of the Senate Military Affairs Committee. In a scarily matter-of-fact...
