  Starting from a chiral invariant and quark line rule conserving Lagrangian of
pseudoscalar and vector nonets we introduce first and second order symmetry
breaking as well as quark line rule violating terms and fit the parameters, at
tree level, to many strong and electroweak processes. A number of predictions
are made. The electroweak interactions are included in a manifestly gauge
invariant manner. The resulting symmetry breaking pattern is discussed in
detail. Specifically, for the ``strong'' interactions, we study all the vector
meson masses and V -> \phi \phi decays, including isotopic spin violations. In
the electroweak sector we study the { rho^0 , omega , phi } -> e^+e^- decays, {
pi^+ , K^+ , K^0 } ``charge radii'', K_{l3} ``slope factor'' and the overall
e^+e^- -> pi^+ pi^- process. It is hoped that the resulting model may be useful
as a reasonable description of low energy physics in the range up to about 1
GeV.
