...would get off to a good start. Finishing tournaments has been the Spanish weakness. It may still be. Against a supposedly rising Russia the Spanish frontrunners David Villa and Fernando Torres ran rampant in a 4-1 win. Torres set up the first goal by undressing Russian centerback Denis Kolodin and serving Villa with a gilt-edged pass to make it 1-0 at 20 minutes. It would be the beginning of a long night for the Russian back four as Spain's midfield had a truckload of keys to unlock their defensive scheme. In the 44th minute Iniesta skipped...
...thoughtful pieces on the moral quandaries of psychosurgery and the inequities produced by funding public education through property taxes. Joining the SR/ World masthead and beefing up its critical sections are some old SR contributors who parted company with Cousins when he left the magazine in 1971: Critics Irving Kolodin (music), Henry Hewes (drama) and Walter Terry (dance...

Irving Kolodin, the musical pundit of the Saturday Review, added his share to the heroine-worship of Nilsson, now the fashion among New York critics, by pointing out her superb acting and imposing stage deportment. All in all, one can find few flaws in her tempestuous, queenly Isolde. Though one might complain...
...Present. Now the U.S. would have to decide how it felt about her. Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera Association nervously sniffed the wind before making up its mind whether to ask its old star back. The New York Sun's critic Irving Kolodin thought it should not. To him, it was all right for Flagstad to hire a hall where the public could buy tickets or stay away; it was something else for her to sing at the Met, where the public buys season tickets months in advance, and has to accept whatever singers the management offers.
