  Optical, Infrared, X-ray, and radio wavelength studies of quasars are
beginning to define the luminous quasar structure from techniques of
reverberation and microlensing. An important result is that the inner quasar
structure of the first identified gravitational lens, Q0957+561 A,B seems not
to show the kind of structure expected for a supermassive black hole, but
instead show a clean-swept interior region as due to the action of a magnetic
propeller, just as expected for a MECO (Magnetic Eternally Collapsing Object)
structure. Given the present state of the observations, the strongest model
discriminant seems to be the existence of a thin luminous band around the inner
edge of the accretion disc, at a distant radius ~ 70 R_g from the ~ 4 x 10^9 Mo
central object. Since the existence of a clean magnetic propeller swept inner
region ~70 R_g surrounded by a sharp ~ 1 R_g disc edge are the low-hard state
spectral properties associated with a highly redshifted central MECO object, we
are led to the conclusion that these observations imply that the Q0957 quasar
contains a central supermassive MECO instead of a black hole. In this report we
review the details of the observations which have compelled us to reach this
conclusion.
