From the Paper:

"The capital, Buenos Aires, is without a doubt South America's most European city, renown for its Tango music and dance. The country has produced a plethora of incredibly talented and influential people that have become icons world-wide, such as: Jose Luis Borges (one of the most critically acclaimed writers of the 20th century); Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, commonly known as Che: (physician, idealist and Marxist revolutionary); Evita Peron (the most powerful and influential woman to surge from South American, arguably for her time the most powerful in the world); Diego Maradonna one of the greatest international soccer players to ever live and two of the greatest tennis players of the game, Guillermo Vilas and David Nalbandian."
