Run down to your better neighborhood video store and rent "The President's 
Analyst", from about 1968.  Wonderful hack on the spy movies of the time,
with James Coburn.  It turns out CIA, KGB, and everybody else ends up chasing
"TPC", which has a nefarious plan to require everyone to get a Cerebral
Communicator implant.  The big scene in the Phone Company master control center
is perfect.
