...Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem, this year's Oscar winner for No Country for Old Men). He is one of those artists, found mostly in fiction (and in the fantasies of artists), whose true vocation is mixing up the hearts of the many women who fall into his bed.

Anthony Niblett is known in Winthrop for being an avid IM fan, and Matthew J. Corriel ’05 brings his love for music to Adams. “My way is a loud way,” says Corriel. “I’m a noisemaker.” He is often heard busting out tunes...
