A complex composition of newspaper photographs and text dealing with President Richard Nixon, Watergate, car dealers, and campus unrest. A large "quote by Thomas Nashe" in script reads "Hem, clear your throats and spit soundly for now the pageant begins and the stuff by whole cartloads comes in." It surrounds a corpulent man holding a cigar, with a small cowboy hat and the phrase "Now we need to know more about?" Other texts around the images of Nixon at the bottom read "Dere Mr. President, do you like to be president? What do you do for a living?" and "The players and teams, the managers and executives, the exploits and intrigues when 12 or 18 responsible, normal and temporarily smelly people get together." A man representing the "Cream Puff Center" speaks "The dealer makes the difference" from a quote bubble.
