...familiar complaint about undercover "Red spies" at the U.N. Others lent the paper a noticeable lift. Dick Schaap and Jimmy Breslin took a fresh look at the opening of the city's schools and a dress rehearsal at the Metropolitan opera. Society Columnist Suzy Knickerbocker was at her caustic best...

Diffuse and emotionally flat despite its expert airborne excitement, The Blue Max sets out to be a caustic essay on honor, ends up posing questions no more timeless and universal than Who will get Ursula? and Who will be the next ace to fell 20 British planes? The only way to help such synthetic melodrama to a climax is to reveal, once more, the unstartling news that the Kaiser's forces are about to lose World...
