'Post' Columnist Raspberry Reflects on Career
Extended Interview
Additional excerpts from Debbie Elliott's interview with "Post" columnist William Raspberry:
William Raspberry started at the Washington Post 43 years ago as a teletype operator.
After a promotion to reporter, he won awards for his coverage of the Watts riots. Later, he won a Pulitzer Prize for his columns, which have been running at the Post since 1966 and have been nationally syndicated since 1977.
As he approaches retirement -- his last column appears Dec. 26 -- he reflects on the highlights of his career.
