 | | NEW YORK // The Dow Jones industrial average shot past 13,000 for the first time today as stronger-than-expected earnings reports streamed in, suggesting to investors that corporate America is successfully weathering the cooling economy. |
 | | It took the Dow just 129 trading days, since Oct. 18, to make the trek from 12,000 to 13,000, far less than the 7 1/2 years that the blue chips took to go from 11,000 to 12,000. |
 | | The Dow was the first of the major indexes to recover from the stock market's prolonged slump in the early part of the decade. |
