My world was sunk by sea and surf
And I was all alone
My world was sunk by sea and surf
And all my hopes had flown

All alone in my world of one
I was left adrift
All alone in my world of one
I knew I would not be missed

With no one left to miss you
Can you really be alone?
With no one left to miss you
Till you are skin and bone

I drifted for a hundred years
And met no living soul
I drifted for a hundred years
And never was I whole

Till I met her on an island
Above surf and sea and time
I met her on an island
And her presence was sublime

For a hundred years or more I drowned
Till I found my way to her
A hundred years or more I drowned
But those were left a blur

At last I had an anchor here
And I could cease to drift
At last I had an anchor here
I knew what I had missed

I met her on an island
Where I had found my home
I met her on an island
And I was not alone

— Ballad of the Last Atlantean - Track 2 of Calypso, a History, written by Noel Winter, sung by Calypso

Noel Winter? 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.
