...flighty bird. Most of us never catch a glimpse of it. Very occasionally it settles down helpfully in the corner, cawing advice to artists as they pile up those bodies of work on which their hopes of immortality rest.

Many states have these laws already, but over the last year several reporters, including the New York Times' Judith Miller and TIME's Matt Cooper, have been ordered to divulge sources or face jail time.
