romanesque or, as it is known in britain, the norman style.nd it would be in england that somof the most daring and original innovations were made in medieval architecture. durham cathedral, even by the standards of norman architecture in england, is a colossal building. durham cathedral was begun in 1093 on the sort of scale and grandeur common to many great norman cathedrals of england in the late 11th century. durham is a masterpiece of structure, and that makes it, in a way, a slightly ambiguous building because durham is undoubtedly a romanesque church. in fact, it is a massive romanesque building, one of the largest, but it also has gothic elements in it. in the 19th century, archaeologists defined the gothic style as having three essential characteristics-- the pointed arch, the rib vault, and the flying buttress-- and durham has got all three of these. it's got pointed arches in the nave of the building. durham's also got rib vaults. in fact, it's perhaps one of the first buildings in europe consistently to use rib vaults throughout th

>> norman, that's two key questions, i think. first, the president was under tremendous pressure not strictly in a strategic sense but most assuredly in a political sense being battered on several sides, there had been success as we heard earlier, along mississippi, they captured new orleans and certainly in the upper reaches of the cumberland tennessee river by forces led by men like ulysses grant, shiloh was a union victory even before the peninsula campaign started. so it was not just an issue of letting mcclellan do what the general does best, ie, conduct campaign strategy, but in truth trying to reassure the public in general, the congress in particular, and to an extent those people who controlled the information flow to the public. in those days the newspaper editors around the united states that there was a viable plan and that this was going to result in victory in a short period of time. another thing to remember that in 1862 the united states had not initiated conscription as yet. there was no draft. all the soldiers i

good morning, norman. >> caller: good morning. thanks for letting me talk a little bit. >> sure. >> caller: our biggest reason for the national debt in my training is free trade. our manufacturers have to pay 35% of the profits to the government while foreign countries get away with nothing. this gives the other countries a 35% profits over our country. make it the same as things built here in the u.s. bring back the manufacturing in this country and employment will increase. this will not only create jobs but income tax from these workers and companies. >> free trade is a double-edged sword. we certainly want access to markets overseas to sell our products, and it's important to growing exports. i'm in favor of initiatives that allow open markets to overseas. i think that's critically important to our growth. but i think our trade policy has definitely not looked enough at imports coming in and the impact that they have on workers and on industry. and the challenge -- and i think, norman, the caller, touches on this a little bit
