The characteristic spectra of Seyfert nuclei have long been generally attributed to photoionization by the hard UV continuum of a central black hole and associated accretion disk. More recently, within the context of AGN unification schemes, it has been proposed that the primary difference between Seyferts of type 1 and 2, i.e the broad permitted lines seen in the former, could be attributed to the presence of an obscuring torus in which case visibility of the nucleus depends on viewing angle. Supporting evidence has come from the detection of 'hidden' BLR's in reflected polarized, light and of ionization cones which imply some 'collimation' of the nuclear UV continuum (c.f Antonucci 1993 for a review). Also of interest in the context of unification
