In October of 1945, just over 70 years ago, Harry S Truman, the 33rd President of the United States of America, received a sign that would sit on his desk for the duration of his presidency.

These days, it generally appears that the buck stops nowhere; least of all with the person in charge, the one earning the big bucks.
