Hoffman also described how he once wore the American flag to a hearing of the House Un-American Activities Committee, and mocked Judge "Julius the Just" and his "Geritol Courtroom...
...essentials of U.N. diplomacy remain, as Adlai Stevenson once defined them, "protocol, alcohol and Geritol," the 23rd session will likely provide more than usual amounts of vitriol. Czechoslovakia and Viet Nam offer abundant fuel for debate, even though both are absent from the 99-item agenda. But they are effectively out of the U.N.'s scope.

Vice President Hubert Humphrey encountered such apathy everywhere he went that he finally blurted to a listless Manhattan audience: "Get with it, will you? I'm going to get you some Geritol." At a traditional "bean feed" rally in St. Paul...
