...last spring, their captors gave them boots so small it made their steps only more agonizing. (The rebels finally hacked off the toes of the boots with machetes to lessen the pain.) Pinchao says the men trekked for days until they reached a FARC camp in the Sierra de la Macarena, where they were initially penned together in a slung cage whose low, barbed-wire ceiling prevented them from standing up.

...despite the alumni and fans that “recognize the talent level of the team.” And not only are the Harvard views of cheerleading usually incorrect, the views exacerbated by pop-culture tend to be false as well. Catty competition à la “Bring It On” does not occur in the real world of college cheerleading; team members say that, in general, the competition is friendly.
