# The Sources Box

PANEL 1 | A reporter at a desk, typing. Above her head, a small tidy box labelled WHAT WE KNOW.

PANEL 2 | Beside it, a second box, three times the size, labelled WHAT WE COULD NOT CONFIRM.

PANEL 3 | She reaches for the second box. It does not fit through the door of the first.

PANEL 4 | The finished page. The small box is at the top. The enormous box is at the bottom, in six-point type, and is the only thing anyone has ever written to us about.
