  In the empirically sensible limit in which QCD, t-quark Yukawa, and
scalar-field-interaction coupling constants dominate all other Standard-Model
coupling constants, we sum all leading-logarithm terms within the perturbative
expansion for the effective potential that contribute to the extraction of the
Higgs boson mass via radiative electroweak symmetry breaking. A Higgs boson
mass of 216 GeV emerges from such terms, as well as a scalar-field-interaction
coupling constant substantially larger than that anticipated from conventional
spontaneous symmetry breaking. The sum of the effective potential's leading
logarithms is shown to exhibit a local minimum in the limit $\phi \to 0$ if the
QCD coupling constant is sufficiently strong, suggesting (in a multiphase
scenario) that electroweak physics may provide the mechanism for choosing the
asymptotically-free phase of QCD.
