The Food Safety Czar

I posted below about recent president's appointments of "czars" to help streamline policy implementation in some area of need. I promised a full list of the various types of czars we've had in the past 30 year (apparently Nixon appointed the first one: John Love-Energy Czar). I promised a full list, but have yet to deliver.
