>>Why have a field for every row when a small minority will actually 
use it?

Most database system will use only one byte for a logical value, 
sometimes may be only one bit,
so, uless you have zillons of articles, the overhead is marginal.

 >>However, should I really create a table with one field just
for maintaining a list of article id's?

In this case, I would say never!
Only if an article could be featured in several instances.
