Tropical Storm Grace is moving west across the Atlantic Ocean but isn't expected to get much stronger.

The storm's maximum sustained winds early Monday are near 50 mph (85 kph). The U.S. National Hurricane Center says little change in strength is expected during the next day or so and gradual weakening is expected afterward.

Grace is centered about 685 miles (1,100 kilometers) west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands and is moving west near 16 mph (26 kph).

Meanwhile in the eastern Pacific, Hurricane Linda is gaining strength. Linda's maximum sustained winds increased to near 85 mph (140 kph) with additional strengthening expected. But weakening is expected to begin Tuesday.

The hurricane is centered about 440 miles (705 kilometers) south-southwest of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula and is moving northwest near 14 mph (22 kph).

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
