As the Ebola epidemic in WestAfrica expands, more cases couldrequire treatment at U.S. hospi-tals far from the specialized cen-ters that have handled patients sofar. But the challenges even thesemedical centers have encounteredshow the steep learning curveothers face.

Treating Ebola takes money,space, aggressive care and obses-sive vigilance to prevent doctorsand nurses from getting infected,say infectious disease doctors atsuch specialized hospitals in At-lanta and Omaha, Neb. Also im-portant is extreme diplomacy indealing with suppliers and con-tractors, which have balked athandling blood samples, soiledlinens and hospital waste out offear of the virus, the hospitals say.

On Monday, the director of theCenters for Disease Control andPrevention, Tom Frieden, said thecountry needs to boost hospitaltraining and prevention tech-niques for Ebola. He said expertsare examining such things as howprotective gear was worn and re-moved by workers at the Dallashospital where a nurse was in-fected while treating a Liberianman who later died of the disease.The nurse’s case is the firstknown transmission of the virusin the U.S.

This time around, J.C. PenneyCo. is playing it safe, picking anew chief whose strength is in thenuts and bolts of retailing ratherthan flashy merchandising.

The struggling retailer onMonday named Home Depot Inc.and Target Corp. veteran MarvinEllison as its next CEO, opting foran executive who is known for hisstrong operational skills and giv-ing him a long transitional periodto come up to speed.

The caution contrasts with

Penney’s riskier and ultimately di-sastrous bet three years ago onformer Apple Inc. executive RonJohnson, who upended its pricingstrategy and offerings in an effortto make the chain more hip butended up blowing a $4 billionhole in the company’s sales.

The appointment also reflects

a broader shift in retail in whichsome big companies have favoreddetail-oriented operators over ex-ecutives mainly lauded for bril-liance in merchandising, as the in-dustry faces giant new challengesin managing its supply chains andkeeping customers from defectingto the Web.

Brian Cornell, a former Pep-siCo Inc. executive who recentlybecame CEO of Target, and ArtPeck, incoming CEO of Gap Inc.,are valued more for their ability

to run large organizations thanfor their gut instinct about thenext hot trend. Penney will needthose sorts of skills as it maps outthe next steps of a recovery.

The department-store chainhas fended off a cash crunch andreversed a steep drop in sales andtraffic. The company’s loss for thesix months that ended Aug. 2 nar-rowed to $524 million from $934million a year earlier, as salesgrew 6% to $5.6 billion. Yet ques-

Senate RaceTests Voters’Appetites forMilitaryAction

CINCINNATI—As voices and music swelled on arecent Sunday morning, bringing a traditional19th-century hymn to an arena-rock crescendo,hands of all hues reached toward the heavens.

“This is beautiful,” said pastor Chris Beard, look-ing over pews filled with African-American, whiteand Asian worshipers in a church service thatopened with a prayer for two dozen Ethiopian ba-bies and closed with a benediction in Korean. “Tobe one church family pleases the heart of the Lord.”

The faces were nearly all white in 2001, whenMr. Beard took charge of the century-old FirstChristian Assembly of God. Today, half its mem-

BERLIN—On each of his last 15visits to Detroit, Dimitri Hege-mann has visited his old friend,Fisher Body 21.

“We really stay in touch,” saysthe 60-year-oldBerliner withflowing blonde-and-white hair.“Fisher Body ismy first reallove.”

Fisher Body21 is a decrepitsix-story buildingthat is covered ingraffiti, linedwith smashedwindows and, ac-cording to state authorities, dan-gerously contaminated. Built in1919, the former auto-parts plantin Detroit was deserted two de-cades ago.

But where others see a case for

the wrecking ball, Mr. Hegemannand his friends see the first steptoward the revival of America’sabandoned city. The asbestos-filled ruin, he says, “has a specialaura…and I have plans for it.”

Mr. Hegemann, founder of aBerlin nightcluband record label,is spearheadinga project calledthe Detroit-Ber-lin Connection,an effort by themovers andshakers in thiscity’s musicscene to help re-start the MotorCity. The Berlin-ers compare De-

troit to their city after the fall ofthe Berlin Wall and say it has allthe ingredients for a similar re-birth as a center of undergroundculture: deserted buildings, cheap

The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. famously saidthat Sunday at 11 a.m. was the most segregatedhour in America. Today, pastors like Mr. Beard areworking to change that, with some success. Theproportion of churches in the U.S. with mixed-racecongregations—where no single group tops 80%—has grown from 7% in 1998 to 13% in 2012, accord-ing to an analysis of the National CongregationsStudy, a survey run by Duke University.

“I just began to wonder about our being somono-ethnic in a multiethnic city,” said Mr. Beard,the senior pastor of what is now called Peoples
