>Epcot Center?
>

There are those who believe that Epcot does indeed distort significant
historic issues.  For example, an excellent article by Michael Wallace in
_History Museums in the United States:  A Critical Assessment_ by Warren
Leon and Roy Rosenzweig (Univ. of Illinois Press, 1989).  The article is
"Mickey Mouse History:  Portraying the Past at Disney World."  Wallace has
some rather significant points to raise concerning the "progressive" and
"corporate" history presented at EPCOT.
