Abstract
A grand unified model is proposed which incorporates a "peculiar" photon in addition to the familiar photon. The model is constructed to reconcile the possible observations of fractional charges and monopoles. One way to have the weak-mixing-angle prediction agree with the phenomenological value is to require the peculiar photon to couple more strongly than the regular photon.Keywords
