Robert Anthony Snow 
      American journalist

born June 1, 1955, Berea, Ky.

died July 12, 2008, Washington, D.C.
during his 16-month stint (May 2006–September 2007) as White House press secretary, was appreciated for his good-natured banter with journalists, infusing energy into what many considered a lacklustre position. Although Snow became known as one of Pres. George W. Bush's staunchest advocates, he originally earned journalistic credibility as the host (1996–2003) of the television program Fox News Sunday, on which he often criticized Bush's policies. Snow earned (1977) a bachelor's degree in philosophy from Davidson (N.C.) College and studied economics and philosophy at the University of Chicago before becoming a journalist. He wrote editorials for regional newspapers throughout the 1980s, worked as a speechwriter (1991–96) for Pres. George H.W. Bush, and later had a nationally syndicated newspaper column. In 2005 Snow underwent treatment for colon cancer, which recurred in early 2007, but he cited the need to earn more money rather than ill health when he announced his resignation as press secretary.
