The book/movie makes it seem like West Indian Archie was the king of the numbers racket underworld in Harlem but most sources say Bumpy Johnson was the man.
Did West Indian Archie and Bumpy Johnson know each other?

The Force Awakens in a nutshell:
Leia: Same jacket!
Han: Different jacket.

There were many people who ran numbers...West Indian Archie was just one of many.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

Probably a composite based on various real-life individuals.
