Additional Details

The central image is a caricature of President Richard Nixon dropping eight bombs on Vietnam. The caption argues that his 25 January 1972 speech was "a plan to keep peace in America so he can continue the war in Southeast Asia (and get re-elected in '72)."

No place is named here, but the phone number is the same as the one used by the Milwaukee Peace Action Center, per the UWM Post, 25 May 1971. None traced at auction or in OCLC.
