<br/><br/> "'The Buck Stops Here,' said the no-nonsense sign on President Harry Truman's desk....It was more than a slogan. The notion of accepting responsibility without passing the buck or blaming others when things went wrong was central to the work ethic and moral tone of the time. By contrast today, almost none of the leaders of the country's great institutions ever step forward and take responsibility for failure or even honest mistakes." (KRT NEWS SERVICE) This article examines "the decline of an ethic of responsibility in America over recent decades."
