Reminds me of the *extremely* nice guy I met once while doing a guest advanced lecture at the Las Vegas TM center. He wasn't just nice, he was downright sweet. The teachers there told me that he came to meetings every week and loved them. I was later told what he did for a living, by someone in a position to know. He was a hit man. Go figure.
