The Director: Celebrated Director Mike Nichols, one of few people in show business to win an Oscar, a Tony, an Emmy, and a Grammy, has died at age 83. Nichols shaped American culture for the last 50 years. He was married to ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer.

Originally he was a comedian, part of the team Nichols and May with Elaine May. He moved into directing with Neil Simon’s Barefoot in the Park, the first of a string of stage credits. In Hollywood he won an Oscar in 1968 for The Graduate. Nichols directed Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Catch-22, Carnal Knowledge , Silkwood, Working Girl, The Birdcage, and Charlie Wilson’s War. He said, “Every day is a surprise, that’s the joy of making movies.”

School Shooting: A gunman wounded three students inside the Florida State University library last night before he was shot dead by police officers. About 300 students were in the library at the time. Police are still investigating what it was about.

Immigration: President Obama is expected to announce his executive order to reform the immigration system tonight in a prime time television address. Obama has repeatedly said he’ll act on immigration if Congress does not. It’s sure to be the opening shot in a two-year lame duck battle with Congress.

The order might shield 5 million illegal immigrants from deportation, allowing them to have work permits but not federal benefits or access to Obamacare.

The Cosby Show: Possibly putting the final bullet in comedian Bill Cosby’s comeback, NBC has cancelled a planned sitcom in which the 77-year-old Coz was to play the patriarch of a large family. Amid renewed accusations from several women that Cosby is a lifelong rapist, the television industry is stepping away from the entertainer whose lovability is his currency. The NBC announcement comes a day after Netflix cancelled a Cosby standup special. Even TV Land dumped re-runs of the old Cosby Show. A Cosby rep has said he will not dignify the accusations with a response.

World: The body of 19-year-old Miss World Honduras and her older sister have been found buried in a field a week after they went missing. Maria Jose Alvarado and her sister Sofia Trinidad, 23, vanished after being seen leaving a party near the northern city of Santa Barbara. Police have arrested two men, one of whom was the sister’s boyfriend. Police say he admitted shooting the two women and enlisting his friend to help bury the bodies.

Honduras has the world’s highest murder rate; 90.4 people a year for every100,000.

The Obit Page: Motown singer Jimmy Ruffin, whose recorded the timeless “What Becomes of the Brokenhearted,” has died at age 78 in Las Vegas.

He had other hits, but that’s the one that gives Ruffin airplay forever. He came from a talented family. Ruffin’s younger brother David, who died in 1991 at age 50, had been the lead singer for The Temptations.

Lien On Me: Civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton is kicking back at the NY Times for its report this week that he has about $4.5 million in state and federal tax liens against himself and his enterprises. He says the figure is inaccurate and he claims to have paid some of that down. “We’re talking about old taxes,” he said. “We’re not talking about anything new.” As if owing old taxes is somehow different from owing new taxes.

This is not new. The numbers are just bigger. The self-promoting preacher has been written about over the years as a notorious deadbeat. Sharpton claims it’s a political attack because he’s become influential with NY Mayor Bill de Blasio and President Obama. Although why he would hang out with Obama is a mystery. Presidents rarely carry a wallet.
