Sartre's cigarette

[A] good many of those who do not love Sartre are now willing to pay him due respect. Posters all over Paris advertise a grand, and perhaps excessively solemn, exhibition devoted to him at the Bibliothèque Nationale. ... Sartre's cigarette has been carefully airbrushed from the image, so that he looks as if he is about to make a rude gesture.
