Yusniar, 50, was able to find them and bury them herself, before retreating to the hills where she can keep an eye on the ocean, keep it in its place, from her tent made of blue plastic sheets and Styrofoam fished out of the swamps.

Occasionally, he even offers them rides back to their districts on his Gulfstream jet, and lets them bask in the light of his Hollywood-produced 67 percent approval rating in front of a hometown crowd...
