The unresolved issues are truly mi nor, although they relate to the crux of a major Middle Eastern diplomatic problem: How directly should an Egypt-Israel peace be linked to a general Arab-Israeli settlement?

Says IRS Commissioner Jerome Kurtz: "Existing procedures have permitted some schools to obtain tax-exempt status by having 'paper policies' of nondiscrimination, while in fact continuing to operate in a racially discriminatory manner."
