NEW YORK (AP) - Stocks fell more than 4% Tuesday as investors turned

stocks led the market lower after Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner
unveiled his revamped plan to deal with the country's financial
crisis. The Dow Jones industrials were down 382 at 7,889. The Standard
& Poor's 500 index is down 42 at 827, and the Nasdaq composite is down
66 at 1,524.
