-- Dear Mr. Buckley: I read somewhere that your great-grandfather (or grgreat-great) was once sheriff of the infamous Duval County in South Texas. Is it true? I grew up in Jim Wells County next door.

Thank you,

James G. Shea

Doraville, Ga.

--Dear Mr. Shea: It is true. My grandfather was a law-and-order sheriff anand a devout Democrat. His allegiance to the latter transcended the former, as witness that although he died in 1904, he voted for Lyndon Johnson in 1948.

Cordially, WFB

-- Dear Mr. Buckley: In your column about Billy Graham (NR, April 22), yoyou wrote: "To have said in 1972 that pornographic entrepreneurs were heavily Jewish is different from saying such a thing as, 'Only Jews would engage in pornography' That would indeed be anti-Semitic, but that sentiment is not recorded."
