Castro Quits
Fidel Castro has resigned as Cuba's ruler. He wants to step down now so he can immigrate to the U.S. in time to collect Social Security.

President Bush says he hopes Castro's exit will lead to a truly free Cuba. John McCain is hoping for new economic opportunities. And Barack Obama is looking for a new mentor.

Castro's brother Raul is now expected to become president, but Hillary Clinton is claiming she has the support of most of the Cuban superdelegates.
