Dryly urbane, Mr. Nichols had a gift for communicating with actors and a keen comic timing, which he honed early in his career as half of the popular sketch-comedy team Nichols and May. In films like “The Graduate,” “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “Carnal Knowledge” and in comedies and dramas on stage, he accomplished what Orson Welles and Elia Kazan but few if any other directors have: achieving popular and artistic success in both film and theater. He was among the most decorated people in the history of show business, one of only a dozen or so to have won an Oscar, a Tony, an Emmy and a Grammy. \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/21/movies/mike-nichols-celebrated-director-dies-at-83.html\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/10350232/morning-digest-8-stories-you-should-know-about-today-3","authors":["222"],"programs":["news_6944"],"categories":["news_8"],"tags":["news_316","news_4523","news_379"],"featImg":"news_10350277","label":"news_6944"},"news_10345557":{"type":"posts","id":"news_10345557","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"10345557","score":null,"sort":[1414525351000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"petition-targets-planned-uc-berkeley-speech-by-bill-maher","title":"Petition Targets Planned UC Berkeley Speech by Bill Maher","publishDate":1414525351,"format":"standard","headTitle":"News Fix | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":6944,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>The selection of TV host Bill Maher to deliver a December commencement address at UC Berkeley has come under fire from people who believe his views on Islam are racist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 2,500 people have signed \u003ca href=\"https://www.change.org/p/university-of-california-berkeley-stop-bill-maher-from-speaking-at-uc-berkeley-s-december-graduation\" target=\"_blank\">a petition on Change.org\u003c/a> asking that the university withdraw its offer.
