Ralph Hoagland, co-founder of the CVS drugstore chain, who died last week, found business and politics didn’t mix.

In the 1960s, Ralph Hoagland was a hard-charging, Harvard-educated entrepreneur whose idealistic crusades for social justice disrupted a promising business career.

He teamed up with brothers Stanley and Sidney Goldstein of Rhode Island to start Consumer Value Stores, a chain of cut-price health and beauty-aids stores in New England.
