and tie-ups of promoters with gangsters and a tangle of
other charges and countercharges.
"I like it better," Ingo says wryly, "if it be like back home
in Sweden. Vou shake hands after the fight and you get
your money the next day."
Actually, all the revelations about the skullduggery sur
rounding the Patterson fight have helped Ingo. To the pub
lic, he has emerged as the stalwart young Viking who
was entrapped by a gang of unprincipled ruffians and yet
managed to stay as clean as the proverbial hound's tooth.
During the complicated negotiations for the return fight,
he has retained this image, every inch the honest busi
nessman, the gentleman, and the sportsman. And while the
lawyers and the commissioners argue, Ingo goes right on en
joying life and enjoying being the champion. He looks like a
millionaire playboy in his dinner jacket, pleated dress shirt,
and fashionably narrow black tie. When he sings with Dinah
Shore, he has all the assurance of Pat Boone. When he acts
in the movies, as he does in Columbia's forthcoming "All
The Young Men" with Alan Ladd, James Darren, and Sid
ney Poitier, he is so good that the producers expanded his
token role into a full-fledged part
About the only criticism he has ever drawn for one of
his acting jobs came after he did Ernest Hemingway's "The
Killers" on television. His emoting was so believable it
earned the approval of the toughest critics. But his boxing
scenes were curiously wooden and uninspired, leading one
sportswriter to complain, "Ingo was a real actor on tele
vision last night. He even fought like an actor."
When he goes to bed, Ingemar Johansson does his best
to make sure it isn't earlier than 3 o'clock in the morning.
What with one thing and another, the champ is getting what
he wants out of life.
And he'll fight to keep it, too.
ionc after most children were riding
I bicycles, I was still crawling des
perately around the floor. Later, when
I finally got the hang of walking, I went
on to become an outstanding failure at
roller skating, ice skating, horseman
ship, and archery.
Even ordinary household activities
throw me. Literally. The other night, for example, I rose
from my bed to open a window. This is not listed among
participation sports. Window opening is not included in
physical education or even praised when accomplished.
But I walked into the side of the door and almost tore
one ear off. I never made it to the window.
Even the art of sleeping is difficult for me. I suffer more
from posture than from insomnia. Lying in bed might seem
a simple enough condition to most Not to me. There is still
a scar on my ankle as a memento of the night I turned over
and cut myself with the nail from a toe on the other foot
Most days I rise up screaming because I have slept with
my head tucked under my arm and wrenched my neck.
It takes courage, not skill, to visit the dentist With me,
it takes both. When the time came, my dentist strapped me
down, called the vigilantes, and drilled for an hour. He is
a young man with a firm grip, else I might have fallen out
of the chair. I did fall, of course, on the way home. That
.was the day I also attempted to re-cover a chair and
pounded a nail in a nail I had already on my finger.
It's gratifying that I survive so well. Nothing really dras
tic has yet befallen me, although the toe which I stubbed
twice in 30 minutes on the same corner of the davenport
six months ago is still sore. I am a patchwork of fading
bruises and healing scars, but I am whole and hearty.
But my first employer's forecast continues to haunt me.
After he'd hired me, he commented, "I have a feeling she's
the sort of girl things happen to." Right away I began prov
ing it Two weeks later, I was in a train wreck.
