10 March In 1974 Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda of the Japanese army stopped fighting World War II. He dismissed the leaflets announcing the end of the war as American propaganda and remained in considerable discomfort on the tiny Philippine island of Lubang on which he had been marooned. Two years later, Shoichi Yokoi turned up in a cave on Guam, and another Japanese veteran was found in Indonesia in 1974. In December 1989, two Japanese civil engineers, who had been fighting with the communist guerrillas in Malaya since 1945, gave themselves up.

More importantly, today marked the three-year anniversary of the high-water mark for the Nasdaq Composite, when it peaked at 5,132.52 during the day and closed at a record 5,048.62 on March 10, 2000. The tech-driven index has plunged more than 70 percent since then and celebrated the day by declining 26.92 points, or 2.1 percent, to 1,278.37.
