	washingtonpost.com: Longtime Justice Byron White Dies
		White was in the majority when the court decided to strike down all state death penalty laws in 1972, and he voted with the majority again in 1976 when the court gave its conditional approval to reinstating the death penalty.
		The consistent element in White's thinking, former law clerks and legal analysts said yesterday, was a vision of judicial restraint that obliged White to resist what he considered attempts to substitute the court's policy preferences for the judgments of the political branches of government.
		Byron R. White's life is the story of a strongly disciplined man who participated directly in many of the formative events of 20th century history.

		Byron R. White, a fleet-footed kid from rural Wellington, Colo., who ran his way into the annals of college football fame and then into American judicial history, died Monday of complications from pneumonia.
		White, nicknamed "Whizzer" for his prowess on the CU football field (and a sobriquet he hated all his life), was perhaps CU's most influential graduate, famous as Colorado's first All-American in football (1937), then as deputy attorney general of the United States from 1961-63 and a U.S. Supreme Court justice from 1962-93.
		White dissented in the landmark Miranda case in 1966, which held that law enforcement officials needed to advise those arrested of their rights, and in the landmark Roe vs. Wade case, which he felt was a judicial stretch that usurped the rights of state legislatures to regulate the procedure.
