BackgroundNancy Lenkeith was born in London, United Kingdom, circa 1922. In 1942, she graduated from Barnard College.[7] She obtained a doctorate in philosophy.[1][2][8] She taught at Queens College in Brooklyn, New York, for two years.[6] CareerIn December 1951, Nancy Lenkeith started working for the Voice of America.[1] She was a scriptwriter of VOA broadcasts in French.[3][4] Her supervisor fired her one day after she broadcast a review favorable to Whittaker Chambers' book, Witness.[1][2][4] Roy Cohn solicited from her information that her superior had denounced Abraham Lincoln: "That damn Lincoln! Why do we have to talk about him again?"[6] Senate subcommittee chairman Joseph McCarthy refused to let her relate details about a proposition received from Troup Mathews, acting head of the VOA's French section in which she worked.[1] Lenkeith testified that she was "sort of stunned" when Mathews suggested it "could be arranged" or "worked out" for her to have children with no husband.[2][4] Matthews shared that he was thinking about commune embodied the good from Marxism.[3] In New York, Mathews, decorated World War II veteran, denounced her testimony "a tissue of fabrication."[2] Lenkeith also accused him of lax supervision.[3] Later, Matthews explained he was buying collective housing in a New York suburb and wondering whether buy into its cooperative; McCarthy would not let him testify.[3] As soon as McCarthy obtained her affirmation that, yes, she was an anti-Communist, he had her leave the stand.[6] Personal life and deathIn 1954, Lenkeith married Michael Horneffer (1914–1966).[8] Nancy Lenkeith Horneffer died age 93 near Washington, DC, and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.[8] Works
