N2  - When the Walt Disney Company unveiled its plans to build the town of the future, a model for environmentally sound, community-supportive urban development, it generated enormous interest around the country and the world." "Among the early residents were New York Times reporter Doug Frantz and his wife, Cathy Collins. Along with their two school-age children, they moved into the community shortly after the very first wave of people had arrived. Openly acknowledging that they were there to report on the town, they would spend the next two years as both observers and participants." "This is an interim report. The town is evolving, and it will be years before we know if or how it succeeds.
