"reproduced from a Time Magazine advertisement created by / Klau-Van Pietersom-Dunlap Advertising/Public Relations, Milwaukee 53202" printed in black at the bottom left.

Poster is printed on white paper. At the top is a stylized image of two animated objects (lights? megaphones? fans?) with feet facing each other. Speech bubbles emerge from each object, connecting at the center to deliver the same message: "we challenge our tradition / because we believe / truth without questioning / is false". The background behind the left object is psychadelic with spots of various colors and a white bird. The background behind the right object is patriotic, resembling a stylized version of the American flag. At the bottom of the poster, between the two figures is "Confrontation! / it hurts. but at least it reaches across the / gap. and even the most irreconcilable / oppositions can begin to make sense - / once you get them together." in black.
