Ballpoint, eg (3)

I believe the answer is:

pen

(Other definitions for pen that I've seen before include "International writers's organisation" , "Shut up" , "Confine the writer" , "'The ... is mightier than the sword'" , "Writing implement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune, the Universal, The Washington Post, the Penny Press, the L.A. Times Daily, the LA Times and the USA Today.
