Many of his 28 codefendants -- all members of the brutal military regime that ruled in the 1970s and 1980s --delivered similarly unrepentant speeches. But the court in Córdoba had the final word, imposing sentences of life in prison for crimes against humanity.

| Posted: 23 Dec 2010 12:04 AM PST  On this day in ...... 1979, Peggy Guggenheim (right) died at age 81 in a hospital near Venice, Italy, the city where she'd lived for more than 3 decades. (photo credit) She'd been born in 1898 in New York City, a child of wealth, and grew up on the east side of Central Park. As a young woman she married, gave birth to 2 children, divorced, married, and led a "Bohemian" life in Europe, amid notables like Isadora Duncan, Samuel Beckett, Emma Goldman, and Max Ernst. She collected art. As World War II broke out, she sent paintings to the United States for safety, labeling the shipment "household goods." The Peggy Guggenheim Collection remains intact at her palazzo in Venice -- and in this 'Grrl's humble opinion, deserves its claim to be "among the most important museums in Italy for European and American art of the first half of the 20th century."
