Forty years to the month after a paralyzing tornado struck Joplin, MO in 1971, rescue workers carefully search the again devastated city for survivors of last night's storm.  KCUR's Dan Verbeck joined us from Joplin during today's St. Louis on the Air.   90 people are now confirmed dead due to the tornado, but one fire official told Verbeck they expect the toll to rise to at least 100.

Today St. Louis on the Air spoke with renowned author Elie Wiesel, who is also in St. Louis to serve as Washington University's commencement speaker tomorrow.

Wiesel's interview was preempted on the air today by President Obama's speech to the U.S. State Department on the events in the Middle East and North Africa and U.S. policy in the region.

We have today's full interview with Wiesel available for you here.
