Recently, the HST imaging observations have revealed that the central arc second region in NGC 1068 has a clumpy structure (Macchetto et al., 1994) and the HST UV imaging polarimetry has revealed the centrosymmetric pattern of the position angles of polarization (Capetti et al., 1995), which indicates that the medium in this region is actually scattering the radiation from a small source, in accordance with the unified model of active galactic nuclei (Antonucci & Miller, 1985).
