It's been a frightening week for Michiganders with ties in Israel and Lebanon. Today on Stateside, we spoke with an Israeli writer and peace activist who has been researching how ordinary people can affect change in global governance. And, we heard from some student journalists in search of answers about the money legislators accept from lobbyists. Also, we visit a very popular Ann Arbor bakery known for using Asian flavors in new and inventive ways.
