Novelist John le Carre, who served in the British embassy in 1962-64, drew upon his knowledge of Bonn's spies and intrigues to write A Small Town in Germany.

A moderate leftist, Garcia Godoy rose to prominence in 1965 as provisional President following a bitter civil war and subsequent U.S. military occupation.
