Rebound sends Wall Street to pre-attack levels

Boosted by some healthier-than-expected earnings reports, Wall Street surged higher today, carrying the Dow Jones industrials and other market indexes to levels last seen before the September 11 terrorist attacks.

The Dow’s close left it just 195 points below its close of September 10; the blue chips have now recovered 85% of the 1,369 points they lost after the attacks.
