What is the difference between enriched white flour and whole wheat flour?
Flour oftentimes goes through a process known as bleaching. This makes the white baking flour most people are accustomed to and which they like to use in baking; however, while this makes the flour more suitable to common baked goods, it also strips much of the nutritional value from the flour. Vitamins are sometimes added to this flour making it 'enriched' white flour. By not doing the bleaching process, you retain the whole wheat aspect of the flour, making it healthier and heartier, and don't necessarily need to 'enrich' the flour.

Why does white flour have better keeping qualities than whole wheat flour?
Whole wheat flour still contains the germ of the wheat, whereas white flour does not. The wheatgerm is where the grain stores fats/oils, which are intended help the grain to germinate again if it were planted rather than ground into flour. However these oils tend to go rancid easily, which is why white flour has better keeping qualities.
Are wheat bread items made with enriched flour any better than white bread?
Not especially, although there are fierce arguments over trivia concerning nutrition and food in general. The differences between flour milling techniques are fairly small. "Enriched" bread is called "enriched" because it is made with extra vitamins and minerals not naturally found in wheat. For people who live on the edge of rickets and other diseases of malnutrition, it can be important in preventing such diseases.
