When Heeschen (1968) found that the nuclear sources in the two elliptical galaxies NGC 4278 and NGC 1052 contained flat spectrum unresolved sources he conjectured that these might be weaker versions of the compact optically thick and strongly variable sources found in the quasar nuclei. This conjecture appears to be correct since these are both now known to have diameters <0.1 pc (Cohen et al. 1971) and to be variable on time scales of order one year. This variability has recently been confirmed by observations with the VLA (Heeschen, private communication).
