The researchers said they were surprised by the degree of suffering and hope the results help mental health professionals focus their ef forts after disasters. The study, published in Wednesday’s Journal of the Amer ican Medical Association, looked at 182 adults who were inside or just outside the federal building when the bomb went off in 1995, killing 168 people and injuring nearly 700. The survivors were interviewed six months after the blast. Forty-five percent of those stud ied were found to suffer illnesses that included chronic depression and drug and alcohol problems. The biggest single group of sur vivors — one out of three — had post-traumatic stress disorder, a condition often seen in Vietnam ty, the Oklahoma State Department of Health and the University of Ok lahoma Health Sciences. Bombing survivors have de scribed nightmares, a fear of enter ing tall buildings, loss of trust and “I’m nervous all the time, especially if I can’t look out a window.” “I’m nervous all the dally if 1 can’t look outat he said.

Once, when his wife was moving furniture at their home, she bumped the wall. ‘‘That big thud. I came unglued,” he said. Charlie Younger, who was in a business meeting on the fourth floor when the bomb went off, said he has not been able to watch violent movies, finds it difficult to trust peo ple and does not like tall buildings. and one of the study's a ay’s much wt— "Nobody wasuntouMhe 4.7-mc— disaster, but different peoH; Hay man a touched differentty,”skinal.

U.S. District Judge Solomon Oliver Jr. stopped the school-voucher program while he considers its consti tutionality. He said opponents who filed a lawsuit chal lenging the program as a violation of the separation of church and state have a strong case. Although many of the schools in the voucher pro gram are set to open today, the judge said allowing the program to go forward could “cause an even greater harm to the children by setting them up for greater dis ruption at a later time.” The state-funded program, which covers up to $2,500 in tuition costs per child for poor families so they ird can attend private schools, is being conductfti Cleveland on an experimental basis.
