Typed Letter Signed: "ByronRwhite" as Deputy Attorney General,
1p, 7x9. Deputy Attorney General, Washington, D.C., 1961 June 2. To Eddie

o f January 27, 1961, requesting an autographed photograph. I appreciate your

Sincerely," 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.
