“What I most resent about baby boomers is that, technically, I am one.” Bruce Handy writes about being a second-half boomer, and the teen movie that encapsulated his experience: Richard Linklater’s “Dazed and Confused.”

People my age are described as baby boomers, but our experiences call for a different label altogether.

Great reporting from Ginny Monk. Nearly 1 in 5 CT lawmakers are landlords. I'd like to know how many Housing Committee members are landlords. The conflicts are obvious. Committee members should disclose whether they are landlords. ctmirror.org/2025/04/27/c...
