	ESPN.com: BOXING - Johansson's epic battles with Patterson land him in Hall
		Johansson affectionately called his most fearsome punch "Toonder and lightning'', and it catapulted him to the pinnacle of boxing on June 27, 1959, when the lightly regarded Swede knocked out heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson at Yankee Stadium.
		But Johansson never unleashed it in the first two rounds against Patterson, giving the fight a feeling that was eerily reminiscent of Johansson's darkest moment in the ring.
		Johansson went into the rematch on June 20, 1960 confident he would retain the title, and history was on his side because a heavyweight champion had never regained the title after losing it.

	The Cyber Boxing Zone
		Press coverage of the Floyd Patterson-Ingemar Johansson match of 1959 focused on Johansson's training methods primarily because Patterson, the defending champion and prohibitive favorite, was often uncomfortable around the press and provided little in the way of exciting copy.
		Johansson indicated to Patterson that this was not so by slamming a hook into the back of his head, dropping him a second time.
		Johansson recovered from the beating and engaged Patterson in a third fight on March 13th, 1961, in Miami Beach, something promised to him by the new champion while unconscious on the floor.

		Once, Ingemar notes, the band decided to paddle the Pigeon River prior to a concert at a campground in Harrisville, not knowing that the river was full of logjams.

	Movie Reviews by Edwin Jahiel
		Ingemar, separated from his dog, goes to his uncle's house, in a small, provincial, unpaved nowheretown where time seems to have stood still for decades.
		Through him Ingemar meets a collection of oddballs and eccentrics that could easily have become too picturesque or corny, were it not for the film's ability to stop in time and to avoid heavy-handedness.
		Ingemar is a collector of odd facts, mostly about accidents through which he ponders the mysteries of life and fate.

		Ingemar is much concerned about the Soviet dog Laika being sent up in space to die for a mission the dog had no choice in undertaking and compares that event with his own pet dog who is taken from him when he is uprooted to live in the country.
		Ingemar's father is not heard from being somewhere in the tropics working on a banana boat; his mother is very sick and dying from TB, and his older brother Erik is always fighting with him.
		Ingemar's summer tales involve meeting a tomboy called Saga (Melinda Kinnaman) who boxes with him, dresses like a boy to play soccer on their team, gets him to tape her growing breasts so that they won't be noticeable, and she also yearns to have him as a boyfriend.

		Throughout this, Ingemar maintains his sense of perspective by comparing his own situation to the tragedies he reads in the newspaper.
		Ingemar expresses his intense isolation through the stories he narrates when he is by himself, which, he says, give him "perspective."
		This warmth makes Ingemar's loss all the more poignant, as if even the film itself wanted to reassure the boy that everything would be alright: how Anton Glanzelius resists this warmth is an extraordinary study in suffering.

		Ingemar's life has begun to spin out of control, and, like Laika, there's little he can do to stop it.
		When Ingemar is sent away for the summer to stay with relations, he meets a menage of eccentric--and sexually intimidating--villagers; eventually, these experiences give him a sustaining inner strength.
		Writer-director Lasse Hallstrom's tale is an episodic rite of passage, a story in which the emotions are touching but never sappy, the main character has the integrity and complexity of a real child with real troubles, and the glimpses of village life are rich and engaging.
