Paul Sills, R.I.P.

I have little to add to obits like this one for Paul Sills, who was kind of the Thomas Edison of comedy improv. He invented much of what is now taught — things that will forver be taught — to actors who work that side of the street…and what he didn't invent, his mother did. Among the practitioners of that art, his name was almost sacred…and probably for a very good reason.
