Eva Doesn't Sleep
The thing about this story is that it's true. Back in 1952, Eva Perón, Argentina's beloved First Lady, died at age thirty three of cancer. A renowned embalmer was commissioned with the grieving Juan Perón to conserve her body display, and Argentines appeared to be close"Evita." Three decades after, when a military coup overthrew his administration, Perón fled the country before he would make arrangements for the transportation of his wife's body. The military junta currently in control contested the corpse. So fearful were they of the symbolic power of Eva that they made it illegal to even utter her name. Hence began the journey of Eva's body all through Europe and eventually back to Argentina.
