Oklahoma bombing victii

suffer from stress disorder ea
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A
study of survivors of the Oklahoma
City bombing found that nearly
half developed post-traumatic
stress disorder or had other psy
chiatric illnesses, such as depres
sion or problems with drugs and al
cohol.
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

time, especially if I

Its symptoms include flash

The study was conducted by re
searchers at Washington Universi-
flashbacks triggered by loud noises.
“I can still smell the smoke,”
said Martin Cash, a former benefits
counselor with the Veterans Ad
ministration who lost an eye in the
bombing. 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.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A 4-year-old program that
lets Cleveland students attend private school at tax
payer expense was blocked from resuming by a fed
eral judge yesterday, just one day before the start of
the school year.
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
