"Perhaps best known worldwide at the side of his legendary wife Evita, Juan Peron fought hard for social gains while leading Argentina.
Now he is following Che Guevara down the road from politics to popular T-shirts.
Peron (1895-1974), a military officer who was president three times, is seen by detractors as a populist demagogue. But for more numerous supporters, he is the father of Argentine social gains in education, health care as well as dignity for workers."
