Newsday.com - French Jewish Author Benny Levy Dies: "Levy is perhaps best known for his role as personal secretary to an aging and blind Sartre from 1974 until his death in 1980.

"A month before Sartre's death, the Paris weekly magazine Le Nouvel Observateur published final his thoughts and interviews [sic]-- the last ever given -- that Levy conducted with Sartre. The interviews caused a stir because they seemed to show Sartre had abandoned a leftist ideology and embraced religion, a path that Levy himself took. "

Hmm...I never heard this about Sartre. I'll have to look for a copy of the interview.
