UMM KHASHIBA, ‘Sinai Buffer Zone (AP) — Carl Kachikis won't enter the history books as one of the great Middle East peacemakers, but for three years he has done his part.

peacekeeper, making sure there ‘are no hostilities,'’ Kachikis' said, sitting at his post at the communications centre of the Sinai field

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Carter's top economic advisers told him Tuesday the severe impact
