Someone called attention to his business suit, and remarked that the Justices would soon arrive, in formal attire. Harry Truman dashed upstairs to change into striped trousers and a cutaway coat. But at the reception, the only person in full formal dress was Harry Truman. (Justice Jackson had put on striped trousers, but compromised with a black sack coat...

Clutching his coat lapel with one hand and stabbing the air with the other, he strode into his 6,000-word speech.
