I present a brief review about our ideas concerning the origin and nature of the broad line emitting gas. This is one of the outstanding problems in quasar research. I suggest the establishment of a central data base of high quality quasar spectra as a means to realize an understanding of quasars.

A complex structure of nuclear disks of normal spiral galaxies is illustrated on the example of five galaxies, observed at 6m telescope. A problem of gravitational stability of nuclear disks is shortly discussed.

I explore some consequences of Milgrom’s modified dynamics for cosmology. There appear to be two promising tests for distinguishing MOND from CDM: (1) the rate of growth of structure and (2) the baryon fraction. These should be testable with observations of clusters at high redshift and the microwave background, respectively.
