Hoffman generated so much bile over F.D.R., the New Deal, organized labor, and U.S. internationalism that even fellow Republicans were uneasy in his terrible-tongued presence, and Massachusetts' Democrat John McCormack was once moved to remark: ''I hold all my colleagues in highest esteem. I hold the gentleman from Michigan in my minimum-highest esteem...
