Eva Doesn't Sleep
The strangest thing about this particular story is that it's true. In 1952, Eva Perón, Argentina First Lady, died of cancer at age thirty-three. A renowned embalmer was commissioned by the grieving Juan Perón to preserve her own body for display, and Argentines appeared to function as close"Evita." When his administration was overthrown by a military coup, Perón fled the country before he could make arrangements. The junta now in control contested the corpse. So afraid were they of Eva's emblematic power that they even made it illegal to complete her name. Thus began the two-decade travel of the body all through Europe and back to Argentina of Eva.
