...linemen, he opted to try football. "It was strange to me, but I had my size, strength and speed going for me, and I learned as I played," he says. Azusa Pacific football coach Jim Milhon recalls that a teammate once jokingly brought out a cardboard sign with an arrow showing Okoye which way to run. During his three years on the Azusa team, the Nigerian scored 33 touchdowns and won a berth in the 1987 Senior Bowl, where he scored four times. N.F.L. scouts were soon on to Okoye's case. "He's big, strong and fast," says Mihon...

...July 20 report by the Department of Trade and Industry that accused the institution's investment-bank subsidiary of having "deliberately misled" stock-market investors and broken British corporate laws. The report said the wrongdoing occurred when a $1.35 billion stock offering by an employment-services company called Blue Arrow flopped and NatWest ended up in possession of 13.4% of the company's shares, a holding it illegally concealed from market regulators for months. In announcing his resignation, effective Sept. 30, Lord Boardman, 70, admitted that "there were serious failings" in handling the Blue Arrow issue...
