Those who remember him would appreciate why this code word would honor him accordingly. Barak. He was a most amusing character (to be contrasted with another most amusing character - Richard Feynman).

Additional note. I forgot Barak's first name. Searched for his book. Could only find a professor of same name who (I believe) is not him. Anyone remember who Barak (who had to be in the Philly area) is or where is book is found (or was it published by Vanity Press)?
