Sartre after 100 Years

One of the 2005 anniversaries I missed this year is a big one. It came to my attention on the flight back from Rome that this year is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Jean-Paul Sartre. Here's a sampling of the panoply of articles:

• Michel Contat, Sartre, cent ans de liberté (Le Monde, March 11), with links to several other articles in the same issue
  
• Sartre : la nausée? (Le Figaro, March 10), with links to other articles
  
• Michel-Antoine Burnier, «Sartre gêne toujours» (Libération, March 11)
  
• Antoine de Baecque and Hervé Gauville, Sartre par strates (Libération, March 8)
  
• Jean Daniel, Sartre, malgré tout... (Le Nouvel Observateur, March 1)

The reason for all of the hubbub right now (Sartre's birthday is not until June 21) is that the Bibliothèque Nationale de France has just opened a major exhibit on Sartre, which will run until August. This article in The Telegraph and several others have carried the story that the BNF is using a photograph from which Sartre's omnipresent cigarette (sometimes, he smoked a pipe) was removed photoshoppically (that word gets my vote for Adverb of the Year).
