The Los Angeles Times has half a dozen reporters working on the story, for instance, while the Chicago Sun-Times and Daily News have beefed up their combined contingent to seven reporters. New York magazine last week printed an inventory of Lance's personal stock holdings, which turned out to be loaded with highly speculative issues.
