Dow Dives After War Rally Fades On Wall Street
U S stocks fell sharply as investors locked in gains from a weeklong rally amid expectations of a quick Iraq War. The Dow dropped 307.29 to 8214.68, the S&P 500 slid 31.56 to 864.34, and the Nasdaq fell 52.06 to 1369.78 as gains from last week evaporated and war news added risk. Major components including Altria slid after a judge ordered Philip Morris to pay 10.1 billion.

Satellite phone industry sees temporary boost from Iraq war
San Francisco Chronicle reports a surge in satellite phone demand from journalists and military users in the Middle East as war pressures rise. Analysts caution the uptick is temporary, with core issues like high costs and limited adoption still constraining growth. Inmarsat, Globalstar, and Iridium face ongoing trials, bankruptcy exits, and pricing challenges despite some renewed interest from the Defense Department and broadcasters.

Pension deal could clear US Airways for emergence from bankruptcy
Federal pension regulators plan to decide this week if a deal between US Airways and its pilots on a new defined contribution pension will replace the old defined benefit plan now handled by the PBGC. A Friday hearing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court is set as the PBGC evaluates whether the replacement maintains similar benefits, a move aiding final reorganization approval.
