This is a two-sided sheet with photocopied black text and images. It resembles a newspaper and has the words "Extra Extra Extra" in white on black across the top. Below this, stylized font reads "San Francisco Chronicle" and "The Largest Daily Circulation In Northern California" in very small text beneath. A large headline in the right half reads "Cease / Fire". The upper left quarter of the front contains 4 pictures : a figure kneeling, a male figure holding a picture, two female children holding their right hands over their hearts, and the Earth. A box in the lower right corner contains a graphic comparing the cost of a missile to the cost of housing in the Bay Area. The spaces below and above these images contains articles in very small text, one of which is a "Letter From The Editor" attributed to "William Randolph Hearst III". The other two articles are continued on the back page. The back of the poster is divided into two columns by a thin, black line. There is an image of a male figure standing in the middle of the CIA insignia in the upper right corner of the back beneath text reading "George Bush: The Company's Man". A quote below attributed to "George Bush" includes oil company logos in place of words and parts of words. Below this is a list of Bay Area anti-war events. A section in the middle of the left column is titled "Question Man" and includes headshots of 4 men.
