McCoy refers to Lanie Stieglitz as "the Betty Friedan militia". Betty Friedan was a leading American feminist and writer whose 1963 book, "The Feminine Mystique", is considered by many to have directly inspired and led to the 1960's feminist movement.
The name of the golf club where the victim worked is "Bernum Woods". This is a particularly clever allusion to the forest in "Macbeth"--Great Birnam Wood--where Macduff and his soldiers hide before attacking Macbeth's castle and killing him.
An interesting bit of casting in this episode is Richard Bright as the victim's police captain. Bright is best known for his role as Al Neri in The Godfather, Parts I and II, a police officer turned mob hit man.
