FILE - In this Sept. 20, 2012 file photo originally provided by the Chicago-based John D. and Catherine T.

However, her crucial involvement with a confidential source and two newspapers breaking elements of the same big exclusive is extraordinary. (AP Photo/Courtesy of the John D. and Catherine T.
