Businessmen were angered when Attorney General Bobby Kennedy flailed them for "moral laxity" and again when Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges labeled the blue-ribbon Business Advisory Council "stuffy as hell."* To business leaders, who originally thought of him as one of their own, Hodges has been a particular disappointment.
