VALERIE SCHULTZ: Goodbye, Mr. Pitts | Valerie Schultz

Opinion writers know somewhere deep down in their hearts that they are lucky. Everyone holds opinions of varying strength on many topics, but how fortunate are the ones who get to express them regularly on a platform that readers will read? And how incredible is it to get paid to do so? We columnists are lucky souls.
