Some Argentines suspected, however, that the President's medical problems were more serious than her doctors would admit. Speaking to a crowd of 3,500 Perónist women on the day of López Rega's departure, she gripped the microphones until her knuckles whitened and ominously declared: "Do not forget General Perón, who gave his life in pursuit of national unity even as I am doing...
