The Jennifer Letters are the memories of a baby boomer, passed on to his only child Jennifer, who is growing up in the same neighborhood as he did.

Is there a preset plan for living one's life, or do we make our own...

The Mashantucket Pequot tribe of Connecticut were nearly penniless just a couple of decades ago. Today, they are the richest tribe in America and owners of the world's largest gambling casino. And, writes Jeff Benedict, their wealth is based on a fraud.

Benedict says that Congress was essentially tricked into granting tribal status to the group--a...
