The inside story of the history of doctors seeing inside the body without cutting us open. We'll explore how a sword swallower helped pioneer what we now know as endoscopy.  Plus, the inside story of the women of Washington during the Civil War with Cokie Roberts, author of "Capital Dames." We'll talk election year politics with Cokie, too.
