NEW YORK (AP) - The growing likelihood of war with Iraq sent stocks rallying for a fourth straight session Monday, as investors became confident the United States would prevail in a short-lived conflict. The Dow Jones industrial average surged more than 280 points, catapulting itself to a four-day gain of more than 600 points. Investors who had feared that war would threaten the economy are increasingly optimistic about the outcome of a conflict with Iraq.
