Haft Family Feud Plays On: Lawyers for multimillionaire businessman Herbert Haft accused his wife and eldest son of violence against him and denied that Haft was trying to drive them from the family business. The attorneys indicated that in family disputes that followed eldest son Robert’s attempt last spring to succeed Haft as head of Dart Group Corp., Gloria Haft swung at Haft and knocked his glasses off, and another time announced in front of servants that she was going downstairs to get a knife. She denied those claims, but did acknowledge that after one fight, Robert picked up a crystal glass and smashed it on the floor. Mrs. Haft is seeking a legal separation and an injunction rescinding recent transactions by Haft, including the selling of a huge block of shares and options to their youngest son, Ronald, Haft’s ally in the feud.
