[Ads-l] Restricted access to "Stars and Stripes" and "The buck stops here"

[Jonathan Lighter]

History vindicates me (obliquely):

1929 Lincoln [Neb.] Evening Journal (Oct. 2) 13: Above this desk the
second looey had placed a card which read "The buck stops here'...and
he didn't mean buck private.
