|         Quasars and the Birth & Evolution of Galaxies | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| It was on February 5, 1963 (just 8 days before my birth) that astronomer | ||||
| Maarten Schmidt ran through the hallways of Caltech announcing that | ||||
| he had discovered the high redshift nature of quasars, then known only | ||||
| as mysterious points of light recently identified in radio surveys. In | ||||
| the interim period our understanding of their place in the universe has | ||||
| gone from that of isolated, ultraluminous freaks of nature to crucial | ||||
| links in the birth and evolution of massive galaxies. I will present an | ||||
| overview of these very recent and dramatic developments. | ||||
