Polarization observations show the existence of a well-defined group of young pulsars with highly linearly polarized mean pulse profiles. Many of these pulsars have interpulses. I suggest that both the main pulse and the interpulse in these pulsars are part of a very wide conal beam emitted along field lines emanating from a single magnetic pole. Such wide beams may be responsible for all interpulse emission.
