ARGENTINA: The Fight Over An Online Auction Of Juan Peron Memorabilia.

NPR/

    Former populist leader Juan Peron has been dead for nearly 40 years.
    But 14,000 items, important memorabilia and detritus from his life and his wife Eva's, are not in a museum but in the apartment of a former aide who wants to auction them off online and several banks in Buenos Aires.
   That upsets many followers of the legendary strongman and the head of the government funded Juan Peron Institute.
