Few outside of the Santa Barbara area in California had heard much about Herb Peterson until late last month, when the 89-year- old died. Then his name became the talk of the nation and the world, with stories about him on CBS, Fox and CNN news and in newspapers as far away as China and England.

On Tuesday, hundreds will pack the All Saints by the Sea church in Montecito, Calif., for a memorial service and sing his praises.

DAYTON -- Whatever you happen to think of China, think again. That's the message one journalist -- Rob Gifford, National Public Radio's London bureau chief -- brought to the Dayton Daily News Media Center Sunday, taking questions from panelists and audience and signing copies of his new book, China Road: A Journey into the Future of a Rising Power.
As China's increasing economic, espionage and military might threaten ever-greater influence over the United States, why would we even consider junking our most cost-effective leverage over the future of Chinese policy?
