Pardon this intrusion from a cosmologically impaired reader.... Isn't that
redundant? I don't actually know of a quasar that is not variable in the
visual band, though I certainly don't know much about them. I know I've
seen 3C 273 at everything between 14 and 12, though.

I happen to be putting up a web page about them - still very much under
construction:
