Langlands on FLT


In the April 2007 issue of the Bulletin of the AMS, Langlands has a review
of a book of Hida. In the course of the review, he mentions what he claims
is a certain structure in the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. I don't
understand what he is talking about, although I do have some impressions
based on having looked at the preprint of Wiles' paper.

Can someone explain in more detail what Langlands is talking about?
