Returning to Michigan aboard his chartered plane-appropriately, a de Havilland Dove-the Governor went straight to the William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak to pick up his wife Lenore, who had suffered a broken arm and dislocated shoulder two days earlier when she slipped in the shower at the Romneys' Bloomfield Hills home. For reasons that go beyond personal affection, Romney's aides are hoping she mends swiftly. Lenore is a considerable asset on the stump, provides a warmly feminine counterpoint to her husband's granite-jawed, combative style, and helps calm him when the going...

Sometimes the change is an allout risk. Maxwell Wihnyk, 54, was running a mildly profitable newspaper in Beaumont, Calif., five years ago, but there was no joy in it. With a wife and three dependent children, he decided to go to law school. Says he: "You can scare the hell out of yourself living off capital for three years; in fact, the only...
