Over on View, a hip late-night hybrid of 60 Minutes and MTV, co-hosts "Alex" Lyubimov, 26, and "Dima" Zakharov, 30, prefer what they jokingly call the "rough and macho" look.

But the roster of giant retailers -- including the May department stores, Dayton Hudson and Safeway -- shaken up by his Dart Group (1987 revenues: $406 million), based in Landover, Md., has earned Haft and his eldest son Robert, 35, Dart's president, a reputation as two of the most feared raiders on the roiling retail scene. Just ask the 2,257-store Kroger grocery chain...
