...hospitalized for alcohol poisoning. The media used these hospitalizations as an excuse to publish scores of eroticized, disapproving reports of Wellesley life. The Boston Herald went so far as to grace its front page with the headline, “Wellesley Girls Gone Wild: college students end night in ER after lesbian bash.” By contrast, only pitiable coverage was provided by local media when, months earlier, more than 25 students were hospitalized for alcohol poisoning at the Harvard-Yale football game...
