Scooped up by the Chiefs as a second-round draft choice in 1987, Okoye averaged only 54 yds. in rushing in his first two pro seasons. But when coach Marty Schottenheimer decided to emphasize the Chiefs' ground offense this year, Okoye found his groove. The formula is simple: they give him the ball, he runs with it.

Last August, John Taylor, a letter carrier in Escondido, Calif., went on a rampage with a rifle, killing two colleagues, his wife and himself. Four other California postal employees committed suicide this year. In May, an irate Boston mail handler in a stolen airplane strafed the city streets with an AK-47.
