When Nick is booking Zbigniew Psczola, Psczola tells him that his name is spelled just the way it sounds, a statement repeatedly made by Wojciehowicz throughout the series when people question his name.
The song Yemana is singing is "Almost Like Being In Love" from the musical "Brigadoon". It was a hit for both Frank Sinatra and Nat 'King' Cole in the early '50s.
Yemana reads from the Monday, August 16th, 1976, edition of the New York Times. The top story concerns the race between then President Ford and Ronald Reagan for the Republican party nomination for the upcoming Presidential election.
First of five appearances in the series by Walter Janovitz.
