WASHINGTON--White House senior advisor David Axelrod is in New York on Wednesday with two gigs: he tapes the David Letterman show in the afternoon and in the evening he sits down with author Elie Wiesel for a discussion over at the 92nd Street Y.

The 92nd Street Y: "Founded in 1874 as the Young Men's Hebrew Association where Jewish men could find harmony and good fellowship, 92nd Street Y today has evolved into a world-renowned community and cultural center; an organization of exhilarating vitality and remarkable diversity; a proudly Jewish institution that reaches out to people of every race, ethnicity, religion, age and economic class."
