Mike Nichols, R.I.P.

I'm old enough to remember Mike purely as TV stand-up act with Elaine May.  Then see Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolff in the theater in '66.  And on to Silkwood and etc.  He ended up living just a few miles down 9W from us and we'd see him in Piermont now and then.  Yes, I forgive him for making a hash of Catch-22.   Partly because of underrated gems such as Charlie Wilson's War.  One of several great scenes.
