Scientific paper

Recent observations from intensive multi-telescope monitoring programs reveal strong correlations across wavebands. Among these are ``reverse'' time lags, with the lower frequency variations leading those in the X-ray. I will review the implications of these observations with respect to theoretical models for nonthermal emission from blazars, paying particular attention to the radiation mechanisms and the location of the emission regions relative to the central engine and the core of the radio jet. I will suggest new observational programs for further testing the models during the upcoming GLAST era.
