That's really a cute ad.  The most interesting phone number is
the one for Yuri Andropov, since the rest are just listed telephone
numbers (456-1414 is the standard White House switchboard number,
930-4832 appears as "Buckingham Palace" in the London Phone Book,
short numbers ending in 1 or 0 in Germany are usually the operator
at PBXs).
 
Maybe the stories about the Moscow phone book being unobtainable
are really baloney.  Last time I looked for it in the Library of
Congress, it had disappeared.
 
And Bruno Kreisky and Menachim Begin aren't all that important any
more, are they?  (In fact, a correspondent in Vienna checked, and
Bruno's number has been disconnected.)
 
But the ad worked.  I'll probably check the restaurant out on my
next trip to Munich.
