We’re sprinking your Thursday Brief with a touch of faith — from the job-hunting to the color-painting to the footprint-making sorts. Say hello to a dino-descendant and let your jaw drop at the mind-blowing power of nature at work. Creep toward the weekend with a list of links worth clicking on between water-cooler chatter. We’ve gotcha covered.
- Thar she blows! Mother Nature makes a splash in the South Pacific.
- Be a good parent. It’s the law.
- And so begins Jurassic Park … Dinolizard hatches in New Zealand.
- No more bare-down-there bikini days in New Jersey. Waxing addicts to flood New York.
- Monk leaves his mark. The faithful strive to follow permanent footsteps.
- No boys allowed. Women-only media gives the ladies room to flex in Egypt.
- Artists pay tribute to Natasha Richardson, tragically gone too soon. Rest in peace.
- Narrowing down the “Most Influential” to 100 bigwigs — no easy feat for Time.
- Faith with flair. Rest your eyes on some colorful spirituality.
