Abstract
We prove that the proton is stable in the gauge model [SU(6)]3 x Z3 wh ich unifies nongravitational forces with flavors, broken spontaneously by a minimal set of Higgs fields and vacuum expectation values down t o SU(3)cxU(1)EM. We also compute the evolution of the gauge coupling c onstants and show how agreement with precision data can be obtained.
