		--> Kathleen de la Pena McCook writes "Toronto urban thinker Jane Jacobs has won the $15,000 Writers' Trust of Canada Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing -- an award she received April 14 at a gala attended by Prime Minister Paul Martin.
		The award is for the 88-year-old writer's latest book, Dark Age Ahead, which warns that Western society will remain stuck in a downward spiral unless it changes its path.
