After the situation made headlines, Fox abruptly changed course. He returned a completed dean's questionnaire in mid-July, adding a cover letter explaining the delay and the administration's remaining worries with the book. Specifically, he criticized "segregationist and separatist assumptions behind the [dean and student] questionnaires" and concerns over the "survey technique" for student opinions which, because of the small number polled, would seem to produce "at best a series of idiosyncratic responses, at worst, a quite misleading, for good or ill, impression...

Then, ten years ago, he began to see the segregationist system as "an illusion" and quit the Broederbond. Last December, Smith gave public vent to his changed views with the publication of Storm-Kompas, a booklet in which 24 prominent Afrikaner clergy and writers attacked apartheid on religious and moral grounds. Smith was the volume's principal editor. Within the ironclad code of Afrikaner society, the book's viewpoint was shocking. The publication was only a warmup.

...issue arose out of the contention by some fundamentalist Christian institutions, including Bob Jones University of Greenville, S.C., that the IRS policy of denying tax exemptions because of racial discrimination violated their freedom of religion. Their segregationist policies, they claimed, were grounded in their interpretation of the Bible. But that constitutional argument, which had been rejected by a federal appeals court, was made moot by the Administration's decision to settle the case by revoking a twelve-year-old IRS rule against tax exemptions for schools that discriminate racially. If allowed to stand, the new policy would permit such...
