Between the worn-out trailers and the HUD homes on the St. Regis Mohawk reservation sits an incongruous stretch of newly built mansions. From his patrol car, Wesley Benedict, the tribal police chief, points out a red brick palazzo and a white gabled mansion. "Most of those are built with smuggling money," he says.

On one side, this boundary separates the central area from the "real world" of Cambridge and the Charles, thus again seamlessly integrating town and gown as Quincy does...
