...Making of a (White) MegachurchWillow Creek Community Church's main complex, in South Barrington, does not tower so much as sprawl: eight low-slung buildings, landscaped on a swampy and thus underdeveloped grassland amid Chicago's bustling, affluent northwest suburbs. As the church has grown - especially with the 2004 completion of a new sanctuary building with an escalator and interior waterfall - it has become more self-consciously handsome.

A boy in a T-shirt and sporty maroon track pants shares a miniature plastic baguette with a ponytailed Latina. He looks like a preschool Bill Hybels, yet one of his parents is Asian American. The Indian-American girl and the African-American girl dance together. As pickup time approaches, Ms. Ellen explains...
While scientists have been able to determine the energy of hydrogen using paper and pencil since the 1930s, they now know they can use a quantum computer to perform this—and hopefully more complex calculations—with precision. Using classical computers, calculating the energies of larger molecules was virtually unimaginable because “the numbers get literally astronomical,” according to University of Queensland Physics Professor Andrew G. White, one of the authors of the study published in “Nature Chemistry?...

Harvard bounced back from its loss to Rutgers by winning four of the eight bouts contested at the Mack Sports Complex, but with heavyweight Spencer DeSena out due to a skin infection, the Crimson forfeited the final matchup and settled...
