As Edwards and others have argued, millions of people might be alive today – who aren't – if Carson had turned her talents to fiction or identified her work as such.
When Carson alludes to increased bird deaths during the DDT era, Edwards responds, "Is it possible that Carson was unaware of the great increases in mammals and game birds."

Edwards followed this with the biting satire of Hollywood, "S.O.B." (1981), most notable for Andrews first topless scene which finally laid to rest her saccharine screen image, and "Victor/Victoria" (1982), based on a 1933 German film about a woman pretending to be a man performing in drag.
