    Have to admit, I would also have moved out the Churchill bust, not because I disapprove of what he stood for or his achievements (despite a few mistakes) but because with its hideous tree bark skin effect it is depressingly ugly, as the old boy would probably have agreed had he seen it.

    OK, here's a question for the assorted congregation, if you were the President, or just you generally with a very large desk, and had to have a bust of someone, who would you choose?

      Not technically a bust but... just a little something to brighten up the office.

            Marcus Tullius Cicero - for making Greek philosophy accessible in his Tusculanae Disputationes. Also inspired one of the early church fathers Ambrose of Milan to write On the Duties of the Clergy in about 391 AD. It was written to motivate the clergy of his diocese so that they would conduct their lives in a manner appropriate to their vocation. With his immense background in the Classics, Ambrose modeled his treatise on Cicero's De Officiis.
            But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the younger
