...AMOUNT OF MONEY OR help, however, can make the survivors whole again. P.J. Allen, now in the thick of the terrible twos, has been called the bombing's miracle child. One of only six children at the America's Kids day-care center on the second floor of the federal building to survive the explosion, 20-month-old P.J. was battered almost beyond recognition. One lung collapsed. He had burns on half his body, and the heat fused his vocal cords together. One earlobe was ripped off, both eardrums were ruptured, and his corneas were damaged. His left arm snapped...

...waaah, waaah, waaah!' You ask, 'When did he start to walk?' One mother said to me, 'Walk? My son didn't walk. He got his pilot's license at one year of age. His feet haven't touched the ground since.' You ask, 'Mrs. Smith, how about the terrible twos?' She'll start to cry, 'You mean the terrible twos, threes, fours, the awful fives, the horrendous sixes, the God-awful eights, the divorced nines, the I-want-to-die tens...
