Reception and Legacy
The American writer Studs Terkel was nicknamed after Studs Lonigan.
According to series creator Joss Whedon, the character Doyle in the TV series Angel was "totally based on Studs Lonigan. I mean, there's the tough-guy posturing, the endless self-pity, the suicidal binge-drinking, everything right down to the hopeless crush on the unattainable beauty. Oh yeah. Definitely a debt to Studs there."

“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
