You've got mail! DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Donald Gross survived combat in the Army and two open-heart surgeries. But he believes his daily trips to the mailbox might kill him. ''You know what this is? This is nitro,'' the hulking 64-year-old veteran said, his voice rising in passion as he held the heart medicine in his fist. ''I take four of these to get to the mailbox. And I take four of these to get back home.'' Gross and his neighbors at the senior community of Floral Lakes are in what they call the battle of their lives: to get the Postal Service to deliver mail to curbside boxes at their 225 homes instead of a central kiosk that's up to a half-mile away. And though the developer has agreed to pay to install curbside mailboxes and reimburse the Postal Service for the $6,484 cost of the kiosk it built, the Postal Service has not budged.
