BYRON WHITE
Byron White signs a first day cover honoring the Statue of Liberty Centennial
1886-1986.
First Day Cover signed: "Byron White", 6½x3½. FDC honoring the Statue
of Liberty Centennial 1886-1986, 22-cent stamp affixed, postmarked Liberty
Island, New York/New Jersey, July 4, 1986, 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.
