Leonard's book, however, is probably the most detailed account of the inner workings of Tyson, as well as the relationship between poultry companies and the not-so-independent farmers who actually raise the birds. Just a few weeks ago, the Pew Charitable Trusts released its own critique of the broiler industry. In the early days of the Obama administration, the Department of Agriculture and the Justice Department held public hearings on alleged abuses by companies that dominate the meat business. Activist groups devoted to farmers' rights, such as Rural Advancement Foundation International and the Institute for Agricultural and Trade Policy, have been fighting against concentration in the poultry and meat-packing industries for many years. Leonard has no admiration at all, though, for the system of chicken production that Tyson built, which "keeps farmers in a state of indebted servitude, living like modern-day sharecroppers on the ragged edge of bankruptcy."

Results: No significant difference was found between the surface changes and debris/smear layer scores based on root canal preparation technique and irrigant solution (P>0.05). All data were analyzed statistically using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. Surface change, the debris/smear layer remaining after instrumentation/irrigation, and the tubular penetration of root canal sealers were evaluated using SEM. The roots were randomly distributed into four groups, according to instrumentation techniques and irrigation solutions employed. Materials and Methods: The widest roots of 120 recently extracted human primary second molars were used.
