Young Affair rocks Israeli US ties over PLO contact
The disclosure of Ambassador Andrew Young's unauthorized contact with the Palestine Liberation Organization jolted U S Israeli relations and jeopardized hopes to draw moderate Palestinians into Middle East peace talks. Officials say Strauss must focus on reassuring Israel ahead of Egyptian Israeli talks on Palestinian autonomy. The affair also raises concerns among Israelis and some American Jews about scapegoating Young, though officials insist he remains a political asset. Carter's team aims to reassure Begin that U S commitments to Israel and Camp David framework remain unchanged.

Supreme Court to hear challenge to replacement tax
The Illinois Supreme Court will consider a direct appeal by Continental Illinois National Bank and Central Illinois Light Co. challenging a new 520 million business tax. The firms contend the measure violates state and federal constitutions and could threaten local government and school funding. They seek a ruling by September 30, arguing the tax shifts burdens and raises more than past personal property levies.
