Ballpoint, e.g. (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 Star Tribune, The Washington Post, the Penny Press, the Universal, the L.A. Times Daily, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, The Mirror and the LA Times.
