Spy plane row adds to Dow gloom

Wall Street has fallen back into a deep slump as a seemingly relentless stream of earnings warnings sent the Dow Jones tumbling nearly 350 points and the Nasdaq down more than 100.

The Dow recovered from its lows of the day, but still closed down 292.22 at 9,485.71; the Standard & Poor's 500 index slid 39.43 to 1,106.44; and the Nasdaq dropped 109.98 at 1,672.99, its lowest point since October, 1998.
