Article/series of which you're especially proud: Prosperity Lost, a 10-part once-a-month series tracking unemployed workers, 2002; early Enron coverage, including a national scoop on employees' money being frozen in 401(k) accounts while the stock price dropped, 2001; investigative reporting that uncovered wrongdoing at local money manager Capital Consultants, which eventually was closed by the feds in large part because of Jeff Manning and Jim Long's reporting.
