L&O:CI Joke

I am no fan of the Law & Order spin-offs, but I do love the way writers for every L&O series make literary jokes. I can't recall which writer's name was used in the original series (as the name of a false charity) and was the first to make me smile, but today Sunshine chose to pass the time before Lost by watching Criminal Intent.

The criminal mastermind, played by everybody's favorite Cousin Larry (it's a rerun, so I am not spoiling anything,really), identifies another person involved in the plot as having studied in Hartford, CT. The character was an insurance executive. What makes this so much fun? His name is Wally Stevens. Whoda thunk it, huh?
