Grapevine
By PAUL GRAY/
WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE CAMPAIGN, MOMMY? Now You Know: The Personal Odyssey of Kitty Dukakis will not be published until September, but a number of Hollywood people, including Carol Burnett, have already inquired about movie or TV rights. One of Kitty's friends describes the memoir as "an unbelievably frank and honest personal story." The author discusses her struggles with drug and alcohol dependency, the Dukakises' prickly relationship with Jesse Jackson, and her sense of desolation at the loss of the 1988 election. The book does not disclose the couple's future plans, but there is speculation that Kitty is pressing her husband, once his term as Massachusetts Governor ends in January, to return to a job somewhere in academe.
