		<description><![CDATA[When old timers talk about Arizona&#8217;s economy, they often refer to the &#8220;5 C&#8217;s&#8221;&#8211; cotton, copper, cattle, citrus, and climate. The &#8220;5 C&#8217;s&#8221; built Arizona, but how relevant are they in today&#8217;s world of limited resources? At least 4 of the 5 C&#8217;s come with a high environmental cost, since cotton, copper, cattle, and citrus [...]]]></description>

But he has enough money behind him to overcome the fact that he&#8217;s a milk-toast rich boy.
