A black and white photograph of a newspaper article with the headline "Scores as 'Hippie' Undercover Cop" featuring two images of the same man: on the left, he is clean-shaven and dressed in a formal shirt and tie, labeled "A clean-cut cop," and on the right, he has a full beard and long hair, wearing a patterned garment, labeled "Undercover Guru." To the right of the article is an advertisement for a wig sale at "WIG CITY" with various discounts listed. The newspaper is slightly curled at the edges, indicating it's a physical copy.
