Four topics are discussed. First, measurements of the autocorrelation function of the optical extragalactic sky background check the possibility that there is an appreciable contribution from young galaxies or from stars well outside normal galaxies. Second, large-scale fluctuations in the mass distribution are probed by the anisotropies of the X-ray and 2.7 K backgrounds. Third, scattering by plasma in young galaxies could affect the primeval anisotropy of the 2.7 K background radiation. Fourth, production of the heavy elements is expected to yield background radiation with a characteristic and perhaps detectable angular distribution.
