* AluminumChristmasTrees: One of the embarrassing secrets that Kendig reveals in his memoirs was an attempt to kill Fidel Castro with a tampered cigar. While it's uncertain as to whether or not it was ever actually tried, the CIA ''did'' float that idea as a possible method of assassination when they were thinking up various ways to kill Castro back in the sixties.

* VindicatedByHistory: Viewed as just another Creator/WalterMatthau comedy in 1980, its reputation as a taut comic adventure and a sharp satire on espionage and bureaucracy has increased over the years, to the extent that it's been reissued more than once by Creator/TheCriterionCollection.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Ceferino Piriz. An intellectual obsessed with listing proposes a new organization for the UN. The organization quickly goes from merely impractical to hilariously insane (proposing administration based on colors, as in all black people will deal with black minerals and keep black animals). Aided by Traveler's snark comments.
** Also the Bridge Between Apartments incident.
