He’d tried to be nice. He was raised to be nice. But nice cut two ways. People said you were nice, in a way that meant colorless. Nice got you only so far in business; that was clear. Nice meant, to some extent, predictable. He could almost understand what his ex-wife had meant, during the throes of the divorce, when she said he was too damned nice. But nice wasn’t all bad. Strangers liked ...
