...dynamite in that famous editorial was the little word, "sex." Two months later Mr. Bok soothed his sensitive readers with: "The forbidden word in this magazine will remain forbidden until conditions of absolute necessity force it to become otherwise."

...Janeway gave the plant's general manager until 12:30 a. m. Sunday to comply with the shut-down order. Nothing happened.

S. where extension of routes would benefit both nation and airlines, such expansions have almost always been forbidden.
