- CAMPAIGN CONFIDENTIAL. It may be a long, hot summer for
- Governor Jim Blanchard of Michigan. Although the Democrat is
- locked in a tight race against Republican John Engler, the
- greatest damage to his campaign is expected to come from his
- ex-wife. Paula Blanchard has penned 'Til Politics Do Us Part,
- an account of the breakup of their 21-year marriage that the
- publisher says will be "painfully honest." The book, which will
- be excerpted in the state's largest newspaper, deals with Jim
- Blanchard's rumored affair with former staff member Janet Fox,
- whom he married last year. Opponent Engler has better luck: his
- ex-wife Colleen has written of their breakup in A Matter of
- Trust, an account of her own 1986 campaign for Governor, but
- will delay publication until sometime after the election.
