Several existing and new sets of observational data of Quasi-                   Stellar Objects (QSOs) will be used to look for underlying                      trends affecting the QSO population in general.  The data will be               used to probe the nature of the broad emission line regions in                  QSOs.  This work will include studies of the dependence of                      emission line profiles and intensities on continuous luminosity                 and on radio power, analysis of the profiles and intensities of                 weak emission lines which can only be properly studied in narrow-               lined QSOs, and studies of the relationship of the broad                        absorption line QSOs to the general QSO population.  New                        observations will be obtained of some specific complete samples                 of QSOs so that these studies can be pursued free of the effects                of selection criteria which depend on emission line strengths.                  The data will be used to try to understand the way that the                     radiation is produced and emitted from these extragalactic                      objects which appear starlike but are actually very                             distant and emit huge amounts of radiation.
