BYRON WHITE
Byron White signs a first day cover honoring Thomas Paine.
First Day Cover signed: "Byron White", 6½x3½. FDC honoring Thomas
Paine, 40-cent stamp affixed, postmarked Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, January
19, 1968, 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). Fine condition.
