Abstract
I consider the prospects for developing a model for the formation of galaxies and clusters of galaxies using only what we are fairly sure is present-baryons and radiation. This leads to a primeval entropy perturbation scenario in vrtiich galaxies form at z ~ 100 as the last generation to be substantially held up by Compton drag. The consequences for galaxy formation seem attractive; the situation for cluster formation is unclear because of ambiguities in the scenario developed so far.
