That's why Green Mountain has yet to see profits, although some big--and surprising--names support it. (BP Amoco and Nuon, a Dutch utility, each pumped in $50 million last fall and took over the chairmanship from, odder still, Texas billionaire Sam Wyly, an oil and coal man who is also a longtime friend of President Bush's.)

This is rather odd, since jazz scholars all agree that Armstrong was born Aug. 4, 1901. Odder still, the vaunted remastering is only slightly better than mediocre.
