The date is July 25, 2002, the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Eva Duarte de Peron, former first lady of Argentina. In commemoration of the influence she had on the nation, there is a proposal to make the date a national holiday. This question has aroused many controversial sentiments across the country as Ms. Peron's life receives mixed reviews. Trying to be fair to all groups, the deciding board of government officials has formed a committee to consider the petition. The committee will consist of people affected by Ms. Peron in different ways. Each committee member will express why or why not Ms. Peron should receive this honor.
