The New Left is revolting
A poster headed "The New Left is revolting" fills the page with one photograph of a bearded, shirtless man with a bandolier and a rifle. The headline works as both a pun and a label, and the single image is offered as a portrait of the whole movement. The poster does not say who the man is or where the picture was taken.
