Spenser mocks Dr Croft by saying the briefcase he bought was full of KKs records: Kay Kyser (1905–1985) was an immensely popular American bandleader and radio personality of the 1930s and 1940s. Known as "The Ol' Professor," he hosted the hit NBC radio show Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge, which blended swing music, comedy, and a quiz-show format

As Spenser placed his hand on S Silvermans leg he said he thought he would quote this man:
Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867) was a radical 19th-century French poet, art critic, and translator. Widely regarded as the father of modern poetry, he is best known for his provocative and influential collection Les Fleurs du mal (The Flowers of Evil), which sought to extract beauty from decay.

Spencer references this Freedman statue in Park square. However since that time it has been removed because it was considered to be racist. It was simply a statue of a black man kneeling at the feet of Abraham Lincoln. The sculptor was named Thomas ball. At the very end of his statement Parker says balls.
