Abstract
The evidence for misdirected quasars in the nuclei of powerful radio galaxies (PRG) is now solid: 1. strong perpendicular polarization of the UV continuum, produced by the scattering of light from the hidden nucleus, has been observed in 10 (out of 11) PRG with z > 0.7 (Cimatti et al. 1993); 2. polarized broad MgII2800 has been seen in 6 PRG (di Serego Alighieri et al. 1994, Antonucci et al. 1994), showing that the hidden nucleus is indeed a quasar. These findings are receiving authoritative confirmation from observations with the Keck telescope (Cimatti, Cohen and van Breugel in these Proceedings). Here I would like to concentrate on recent developments of our understanding of the unification between quasars and PRG.
