U Thant was "furious," and "there can be no doubt," wrote Sevareid, "that Adlai Stevenson, who was working closely with U Thant in these attempts, was convinced that these opportunities should have been seized, whatever their ultimate result...

While the Star often sees the news in the light of its owner's conservative political views, it is also a hard-digging, aggressive paper, which readers seem to enjoy even when it makes them furious.
