A divided U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission refused Monday to redo settlements it inked with 16 financial firms over their failure to keep records of so-called off-channel communications, finding the "settlor's remorse" the firms are suffering because others received better terms is not reason enough to modify their deals.

The California Coastal Commission moved Friday for another dismissal of SpaceX's suit alleging the commission wrongly tried to block its plan to increase rocket launches from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, saying because the commission's opposition was overridden by the U.S. Air Force, no harm was caused.

*The Last Vietnam. *
We talk of Vietnam as we once talked of Korea.
"Let us drag ourselves from this quagmire, and we will live happily ever after..."
I am afraid that the next President will not escape so easily.
*I say learn from Vietnam or be dammed to repeat it. *
Our Vietnam policy was meant for the 1940's, for Western Europe, for the defense of democracies.
Yet we apply it in the 1960's, in Southeast Asia, in defense of people who do not know what democracy means.
And in wrapping this policy around Vietnam, we blinded ourselves to the real Vietnam. We assumed the enemy meant to seize land. We were wrong. He meant to disrupt government.
We sent troops in overwhelming number. We were wrong.
We shattered a small country's sense of responsibility.
We were preoccupied with the changing premieres and presidents in Siagon. We were wrong. It was in the village and countryside where government failed.
Now, peace give us a time to right those errors.
To stop turning this war into an *American* war. To move Saigon toward reform. To build a strong and trusted village government. To secure the people from terrorism.
And in Paris, to work patiently and persistently for peace.
At home we must have candor and trust. Americans must believe in government again, and government must believe in Americans. The day must pass where press officers say, "The people I work for don't want to hear bad news."
I say, face the truth. Trust the people with the truth. I say, do not fight change. *Guide* change.
I say we can make this Vietnam the last Vietnam.
And this is one reason why I run for President.
