"The ideal new frontier judge." (former Supreme Court Justice Byron White)
Article Abstract:
Byron White had always been former President John F. Kennedy's leading candidate to replace Charles Evans Whittaker on the US Supreme Court, when a vacancy became available in March 1962, despite stories to the contrary. Kennedy preferred White because White was a worldly man and not a cloistered scholar. White served as Deputy Attorney General to Robert Kennedy. He was an All-American football player. He was successful in the Navy, private law practice and politics. White's nomination was quickly confirmed.
