White remembered for his love of law DENVER (AP) Byron R. White, a Rhodes scholar and football hero who became one of the U.S. Supreme Court's longestserving justices, was known for a quality that typified his stalwart role on the court: Bone -crushing handshakes. "You had to squeeze back hard or he would hurt you," Justice Antonin Scalia recalled Monday. "I always thought that an apt symbol for his role on this court: He worked hard and well, and by doing so forced you to do the same." White, appointed by President Kennedy but remembered as a law-andorder conservative who opposed much of the court's liberal 1960s agenda, died Monday of complications from pneumonia.

He was 84. President Bush recalled White as "a distinguished jurist who served his country with honor and dedication." Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist recalled White as a fine colleague and friend. "He came as close as anyone I have known to meriting Matthew Arnold's description of Sophocles: 'He saw life steadily and saw it whole," Rehnquist said Monday. A football star as a young man, White served 31 years on the court before retiring in 1993.

In the court's history, only eight justices served longer. He grew up the tiny Colorado town of Wellington, graduated first in his class and was an All-American football player at the University of Colorado before going to England as a Rhodes scholar. White received high honors at Yale law school, served in World War IL and was known to a generation of sports fans as "Whizzer" White, once the best-paid player in the National Football League. White bristled at the nickname. White had campaigned for Kennedy in Colorado and served as his deputy attorney general before the president asked him to serve on the high court in 1962 at age 44.

White went on to mark his independence from Kennedy's brand of liberalism, supporting civil rights laws but dissenting as the court moved to expand other rights and protections that White sometimes found troubling. White dissented from the court's 1966 Miranda V. Arizona, ruling that requires police to recite constitutional rights to those they arrest. He dissented again in the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.

He voted to give federal courts broad powers to order racial desegregation of the nation's public schools, but he later opposed broad use of affirmative action to remedy past discrimination in employment. White also wrote for the court when it struck down capital punishment for rapists, declared nude dancing a constitutionally protected form of expression, exempted child pornography from freespeech protections and stripped presidential Cabinet members of the absolute immunity from civil lawsuits.

After his bout with cancer, Urich became highly active in cancer research, with he and his wife establishing the Heather and Robert Urich Fund for Sarcoma Research to accelerate the pace of research into sarcoma. Earlier this year, Urich donated the proceeds from his appearance on the game show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" to a fund at the University of Michigan, where he was treated for cancer. He is survived by his wife; three children, Allison, Ryan and Emily; two brothers; a sister; and his mother.
