I've read others here referring to Ms. Jacobs. Who was/is she? Why is her opinion on matters more relevant than others'?

she is part of the illuminati. her job was to prevent the spadina expressway from happening so that when they took over the world, people wouldn't be able to drive away from toronto and be forced to use public transportation.

she's an urban affairs guru, and her opinions are relevant because she's advocated for many things that have turned out to be very wise. she's also written a few phenomenal books where she explains her vision of urbanity and what goes into making a great public realm
if you're interested, her latest book (Dark Age Ahead) is available on the bargain tables of Book City for like, $6.99. it's not exactly about urbanism, but it's still a taste of Jane Jacobs

John Kenneth Galbraith will be 98 on October 15th ... and surviving bits of Alistair Cooke will also be 98 on November 20th.

Yes. The surprising thing is that they passed his body bits off as being from an 85 year old when he was actually 95. You'd think the cut off age would be about 50 or something.
