While observationally at least a dozen classes of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are discernible, intrinsically the diversity of classes may be reduced according to unification concepts. Here we wish to explore unification of AGN at high luminosity. To overcome the orientation-dependent extinction, infrared observations are required. The project is based on approved mid-infrared observations of 3CR radio galaxies and quasars at z>1 with the Spitzer Space Telescope:1) For the 20 bright sources at 1
