This is the coolest footnote I've drafted in awhile:
Compare INVASION Of THE BODY SNATCHERS (Walter Wanger Productions 1956) (depicting pod people as merely pointing silently at humans that had not been replaced) with INVASION Of THE BODY SNATCHERS (Solofilm 1978) (depicting pod people as pointing and emitting shrill, piercing screams to identify humans that had not been replaced).
The accompanying sentence is below the fold. . . .
Once an economic gain is spotted that seems suspiciously large or easily earned, then, like the ?pod people? in Invasion of the Body Snatchers,[1] the observer must point and alert the public that this ?windfall? gain deviates from an acceptable baseline.
