Filling in the blanks we have

  • Doris Day

  • Joe DiMaggio

  • Richard Nixon

As to who started it:

It was always burning, since the world was turning. So certainly not started by us.

And to spell it out explicitly

The sequence of images is enumerated in the lyrics of the popular Billy Joel song, "We didn't start the fire." The lyrics also explicitly say who started it (no one, it was always burning) and who didn't (we didn't) http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/billyjoel/wedidntstartthefire.html

    $\begingroup$ This seems like an incomplete answer. As @Penguino noted above, while this answer contains the response to the question as stated, it doesn't sufficiently explain the meaning of the question, and how the answer was derived. I would appreciate a more-fleshed-out answer that allows anyone reading it to understand both the question and the answer. (Remember that the ultimate goal of Stack Exchange is to become a repository of questions and answers. Help those encountering this puzzle in the future by explaining your answer sufficiently.) $\endgroup$ Apr 18, 2016 at 19:13
