Immigration Chief Ziglar Quitting
   
James Ziglar said Friday he'll retire by the end of the year as head of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, an agency that has endured intense criticism since the September terrorist attacks.
   Ziglar, who took over the job on Aug. 6, 2001, told President Bush in a letter that he will remain to assist with the transition to a new Homeland Security Department. Ziglar said he plans to go into the private sector.
