AI notes: The Outsiders (1983), directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is a culturally significant coming-of-age film that explores themes of class conflict, identity, and brotherhood through the lives of teenage “Greasers” in 1960s Oklahoma. Adapted faithfully from S.E. Hinton’s beloved novel, the film gained lasting popularity for its emotional depth and authentic portrayal of youth struggles. It also served as a launching pad for several young actors who would become major stars, including Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, and Rob Lowe. Widely used in education, the film continues to resonate with audiences for its blend of literary fidelity, emotional storytelling, and visual style.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
