In Item 58 we showed how supersym- metric models based on the group SO(10) (or, of course, a larger group) contain a very natural mechanism for lifting the troublesome Higgs color triplet to very high mass, leaving the doublet behind. It is also demonstrated, in item 457, that the sorts of models studied in 449 can arise naturally from conventional, widely used quantum field theories. 55, 1797 (1985). Nature 443 636 (2006). Lett.
