...does not often go into the sun. Less frequent are the big splurgy parties, complete with animal when appropriate, with which he used to greet the beginning of a new zodiacal sign. For the most part, he stays home, attended by a butler ("Mr. Libra") and a cook ("Miss Virgo"), and works with four secretaries and a mathematician.

The receding hydrogen cloud discovered by Koehler in front of 3C 273 can more plausibly be interpreted as ejected from our galaxy, in the same manner as in other galaxies, than as part of the Virgo cluster of galaxies. The local model of quasars also has the advantage of accounting for the far-out locations of radio sources associated with other galaxies...
