Trevor Philpott 's last report on Four Corners of the Marketplace
4: A New Heaven ... a New Earth In East Flevoland the Dutch are creating their newest colony on some of the most fertile ground in Europe, land newly drawn up from the bottom of the Zuider Zee. Starting from virgin mud, their aim is to create a model rural society. Every farm, every house, every village, every road, every tree has been carefully set down according to plan. Each settler has been selected from dozens of applicants. Each one had to be judged the right kind of man to make a full contribution to the new community. But just how good is life in the new paradise?
