The prospective sale of a once-scrappy alternative newspaper to a profit-driven mainstream publisher causes the paper's staff to evaluate the costs of selling out and the risks of moving on. A smart, lively ensemble piece with a great young cast, and a pretty good time capsule for the counter-culture '70s. It'd fit nicely on a double bill with "Return of the Secaucus Seven".
