Accessed May 25, 2018. "Horn, 36, has always been an uncommonly precocious writer. Growing up in Short Hills, she and her three siblings wrote and performed satirical plays for the family’s Passover seders (Oscar Night at the Exodus).... At Millburn High School, she co-captained her Quiz Bowl team to win the state championship; breezed through AP classes, and helped edit the school newspaper, literary magazine and French-language magazine."
