...triumph was short-lived. Last week a jury found Tough Boy Dio guilty on state charges of bribery and conspiracy in soliciting $30,000 from two complaisant Brooklyn electroplating firms in return for "labor peace."

Jimmy Hoffa, 44, chairman of the Central States Teamster Conference and most powerful of the International Teamsters Union's vice presidents, had blundered thuddingly into a trap set by the Senate's labor-rackets investigating committee. Committee Counsel Robert F. Kennedy (younger brother of Mas-sachusett's Senator Jack Kennedy) confidently vowed to jump off the Capitol dome if Hoffa wriggled out of the charges brought against...
