Recent data obtained by LEP1 are discussed and their potential implication
for the existence, of a Z' particle. This letter advocates that this fits w
ithin the basic tenet of An SU(2) x SU(2) extended theory of the standard m
odel of electroweak interactions. This extended electroweak model is motiva
ted by nonabelian electrodynamics that provides an effective calculus for n
onlinear optics.
