Fame and money (about $10,000 this year) haven't made much difference in Campy's style of living. With his wife Ruthe and four children (two of them girls) he lives in a white clapboard house in St. Albans, Queens, goes in for big plates of Ruthe's spaghetti, gets to bed most nights by 10 p.m. and is up by 6 a.m.: "In my house," he says, "you got to keep regular hours.
