- In 1966, the whole country was buzzing: President Johnson threw Barbara Howar out of the White House-a dramatic and very public fall for someone who'd had such a promising start.
- Maid of Honor at Norman Pearlstine's and Nancy Friday's wedding.
- Her final middle finger to the city ran in the New York Times in 1990-an op-ed titled "You Take Manhattan, I'm Gone." In it, Howar paints a vivid picture of a city saturated with crime and apathy. "Walking a dog in even a relatively secure neighborhood demands vigilance, lest the animal get bits of broken crack vials in his paws," she lamented.
- Washington's Channel 5 hired Howar to deliver commentaries for the 10 O'Clock News, which led to her co-hosting live coverage of Richard M. Nixon's inauguration. The station's general manager was so impressed with her no-holds-barred interview style that he put her on the midday news-and-talk show Panorama.
- She also created an underground newspaper for fellow students, naming it Epar News-rape spelled backward.
