Despite their impressive outputs of power, it is suggested that quasars probably do not provide diagnostics of any exotic relativistic physics. It is argued that radio galaxies may be cleaner laboratories which give a direct view of purely nonthermal electrodynamic processes occurring near black holes. Quasar and radio galaxy observations are reviewed. How inadequate cooling and particle coupling can give rise to a pressure supported accretion torus is described. Its structure in the absence of large scale magnetic fields and how it can be modified to extract sufficient energy from a rotating black hole to power a double radio source are discussed. Relevant plasma parameters are postulated.
