Pulitzer Prize-winning writer John Cheever wasn't really expelled from Thayer Academy near Boston for smoking, as some believe he implied in his short-story, "Expelled." In Tuesday's Patriot Ledger, Lillian Wentworth, 95, of Braintree, MA., tells the truth as she knows it. Wentworth is still the prep school's archivist and she asked his teachers at the time about the story.
