Europe, Russia, and China Tours, 1968-1969

One of two notebooks of his European tour, Dr. Mahaffey begins by writing about his Christmas in Moscow and "Leningrad," St. Petersburg today, where he mentions the difficulties of travelling in the Soviet Union as well as his interest in a group of physicians who taught at some institutions. His trip later takes him to Paris, Belgium, and Germany. His travel agent later takes him and his wife through Bucharest, Tehran, and Peking (Beijing). His trip to China includes interesting notes about "Red China," where he writes about the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square.
