First Day Cover signed: "Byron White", 6½x3½. FDC honoring the
Drafting the Articles of Confederation, York, Pennsylvania, 1777, 13-cent stamp
affixed, postmarked York, Pennsylvania, September 30, 1977, FIRST DAY OF
ISSUE. Byron R. White (1917-2002), was the first appointment to the
Supreme Court by President Kennedy and served from 1962 until his retirement in
1993. White played professional football for the then Pittsburgh Pirates
(now the Steelers) to earn money for law school, and was a Rhodes Scholar at
Oxford until World War II broke out. He returned to the U.S. and enrolled in
Yale Law School in 1940 and also played two seasons with the Detroit Lions. At
the time of his appointment, he was the youngest member (at age 44) to serve on
the Court. Difficult to categorize and suspicious of ideology, White
dissented in such landmark cases as Miranda (source of the "Miranda
warning", 1966) and Roe v. Wade (1973). Slightly creased at
corners. Fine condition.
