It was the fact that he would be traveling with two dozen strangers, by bus. In a tour group. And he was not a tour-group kind of guy. The decision to visit Holocaust-world did not come easy. Stahl's lifelong depression at an all-time high, his career and...

The methods diabolical.
Lloyd has a habit, too. He cops smack during coffee breaks...
