Ed was right I was talking about the minimalist framework in theoretical syntax.  And By the way the Radford book just arrived yesterday.  I also got _Understanding Minimalism_ by Hornstein, Nunes, and Groham (2005).  It'll take me a bit to get through them, but I have to review a book on minimalism for a syntax group and want to be sure I am up to speed.  I have used Radford's books on syntax since I first saw it in my first theoretical syntax class.  He's got a very clear style and he presents a very thorough and organized view of the subject.
