  17. <p>    John Beverly, 42, a Viet Nam veteran, suffers from
  18. posttraumatic stress disorder, which includes sudden flashbacks
  19. of battlefield terror. Last week two administrative-law judges
  20. in Wisconsin awarded Beverly $85,700 in worker's compensation
  21. after finding that co-workers at the Miller brewery in
  22. Milwaukee preyed on him from 1981 to 1983 by taunting him with
  23. loud noises. Beverly claimed that employees popped milk
  24. cartons, broke beer bottles and even set off fireworks to see
  25. his reaction. Helpless in the grip of the disorder, he would
  26. throw himself to the floor. Eventually he became so anxious,
  27. the judges found, that he could no longer hold a job. The
  28. Miller company, which would pay the penalty, plans to appeal
  29. the ruling.
