...liberalization of language in regard to sex involves the use of perhaps a dozen words.

In 1960, Libya's exports consisted of such commodities as esparto grass, olive oil, sponges and camels, and amounted to a paltry $8,500,000. Last year the figure rose to more than $1 billion, 99% of it from oil.
