Palin resigning as Alaska governor

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin makes a surprise announcement that she is resigning from office at the end of the month without explaining why she plans to step down, raising speculation that she will focus on a run for the White House in the 2012 race.

He refused to give details about the governor's future plans.

Tripping cross-country
Premiering July 14, 1969, road-trip flick "Easy Rider" stars Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper as disillusioned, shaggy-haired bikers who encounter prejudice and bigotry as they ride cross-country during the turbulent '60s. The low-budget box-office hit was groundbreaking.
