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.

No, 'Juri Andropow' is the correct romanization for German speakers, just as 'Yuri Andropov' is correct for English speakers. Each spelling, when spoken in the appropriate language, approximates the Russian pronunciation. -- Andy Behrens decvax!dartvax!andyb
