Raul Castro ousts top Cubans loyal to Fidel Castro HAVANA - President Raul Castro abruptly ousted some of Cuba's most powerful officials Monday, remaking the government in the biggest shakeup since he took over from his ailing brother Fidel Castro a year ago. The changes replaced some key Fidel loyalists, including the longtime foreign minister, with men closer to Raul. They also reduced the enormous powers of a vice president credited with saving Cuba's economy after the fall of the Soviet Union.   Nations:Cuba   People:Fidel Castro Barack Obama   Activities:2006 Castro Health Crisis   Source:(AP)   2009-03-02 Changing Cuba: Monster buses vanish from Havana streets First comes the stink of diesel, then a metallic roar, and finally a tower of black smoke that tells you the "camello" -- the camel -- has reached your stop.   Nations:Cuba Venezuela   People:Fidel Castro   Activities:2006 Castro Health Crisis   2008-04-19 White House: Cuba changes 'cosmetic' The White House on Friday dismissed as "cosmetic" changes in Cuba under new President Raul Castro on issues like access to cellphones and the potential easing of travel restrictions.   People:Felipe Calderon Stephen Harper George W.
