Tim, I think the poor braking is due to my inexperience at brake set- up. I never set up cable and housing before for this type of brake or brake lever, and I'm not sure how to terminate the housing into the lever body. I probably need to find a picture to determine the proper method.
Last night, I adjusted the front brake by following the advice here, increasing the cable tension by pulling more through the brake pinch bolt. I also adjusted the pads a bit. It improved the braking, but evidently I need to adjust some more because it is still weak.
