...their produce. Founded four years ago by Chemist Stanley Rhodes, the twelve-employee firm serves growers and grocers alike, sampling produce in the field and on supermarket loading docks. The NutriClean tests check for several pesticides that are not routinely screened by the Food and Drug Administration. Says Frank McMinn, vice president of advertising for Raley's, a 53-store Sacramento-based supermarket chain that was one of the first to tout its NutriClean testing: "We've never had an ad campaign as successful as this one.

For almost 30 years, McMinn's shootingest politician has been a stocky, grim-faced Democrat named Thomas Burkett Ivins, 63. As a "revenooer," a deputy marshal and McMinn County's sheriff, Burkett Ivins had never been slow on the draw. He had killed seven men-all, it was decided, justifiably. Old Burkett was proud of his pistol prowess; no one in sight of his one good eye was going to outshoot...
