March Madness
"The possibility of war with Iraq sent the stock market down
again today. The Dow was down more than 82 points at the end of the
day. Nasdaq lost more than 7 points on the day."
-- Tom Brokaw, NBC Nightly News, December 19, 2002
"The growing likelihood of war with Iraq sent stocks rallying
for the fourth-straight session today. On Wall Street, the Dow
surged more than 282 points on the day, bringing its four-day gain
to more than 600 points. Nasdaq was also up sharply today, almost
52 points."
