Welllll, I think that this probably applies to a lot of the characters 
of Twin Peaks.  Ben, for example.  Jacoby, sort of.  Laura, definitely.
Hank is doing this big time.  And One-Eyed Jack's itself is a front for
a bordello, so that fits, too.  I don't think it applies to Truman.
Josie's certainly hiding something, and I suspect that Donna is, too.
However, Cooper is completely what he seems, as is Leo.

The theme of "crawly bugs under the neatly trimmed lawn are battling"
seems to be a favorite of Lynch's.  Sadly, it also seems to be a 
favorite of the real world.

I don't think Truman's hiding anything.  I *do* think that Josie's
hiding something from him.  I bet that he ends up looking quite gullible
and foolish in a future episode.  He's after Hank because he doesn't 
trust him.  He knows Hank's up to something, in an intuitive way that's 
less developed than Cooper's.  In other words, Hank's a bad 'un, and
Harry knows it.
