World Book Sets Sent to China for Peking University
Six sets of the 1973 World Book Encyclopedia will be sent to the People's Republic of China, including one for Peking University. It is thought to be the first English language encyclopedia delivered to China since President Nixon's February visit. Branham, president of Field Enterprises, said sets also go to three leading Chinese government information agencies, the information department of the foreign ministry, and the Chinese People’s Assn for Friendship with Foreign Countries.
