Columnist James J. Kilpatrick Dies At 89
Conservative columnist James L. Kilpatrick died of congestive heart failure at the age of 89 yesterday at George Washington University Hospital.
His column, “A Conservative View,” ran for nearly three decades across hundreds of papers, and he became a regular feature on “60 Minutes'” Point-Counterpoint segment, which would make pop culture history after being parodied regularly on “Saturday Night Live.”
Kilpatrick had been a proponent of racial segregation in the 50s during his time as an editor of the Richmond News Reader.
