Bolivian Coca Growers Hope for Better Days Under Morales

COROICO, BOLIVIA - DECEMBER 21: Coca plants grow on a farm December 21, 2005 in the town of Coroico in the Yungas, Bolivia. Evo Morales, the newly elected Bolivian president and the former leader of the largest union of coca growers in central Bolivia's Chapare jungle, has championed coca production and farmers. Morales has simultaneously promised to crack down on cocaine traffickers in Bolivia, the source of 16 percent of the world's cocaine. Many Bolivians view the green plant as sacred and Aymara Indians have chewed it for centuries to protect against hunger and fatigue. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
