...perhaps this wiki thing could work. Maybe, as Michael Ruhlman argued this year in his new cookbook, Ratio, every recipe has a basic structure (cookie dough is 1 part sugar, 2 parts butter, 3 parts flour), and a wikied recipe can't stray far from...

Molestation can take many forms: a stray hand, a heavy leaner, a brazen whisperer or flagrant physical contact. To be a woman in Tokyo packed into a rush-hour train is to be inevitably forced to ask oneself, "Did he just ...?" Chances are, the answer...
