Sure, you probably haven't heard the name. You're not //meant// to hear the name. If Calypso's a supernova, then he's the hydrogen that fueled her meteoric rise to the heavens. Sometimes her lyricist, sometimes her publicist, and always her adviser, there's no question that Winter is greasing the wheels of this operation. And this operation's wheels are on //fire//, burning through us all like the opposite of road rage. Something about his lyrics really get to the listeners' heartstrings and plays all the right chords. Plus, he's like the //Where's Wally?// of press shots. Sometimes you see him, usually you don't. When he's there at all, it takes a certain knack to spot him. See page 6 for top 10 tips to spotting Winter in pictures. //Note in the margin: Someone to watch out for. If this guy's the man behind the curtain, he's no Wizard of Oz: he doesn't need to lie about the kind of power he has. Recommend we divert some of our resources, precious and small though they are, to keeping a closer watch. If the past records are any indication, we can't predict his next move. Advise caution.//
