New Yorker staffer Jack Kahn had the distinction – at the time – of having had more of his articles published in the magazine than any other writer. Groth recalls that when she was about to leave The New Yorker to move to Cincinnati to become an assistant professor, Kahn invited her to his home in Truro, Mass., where he assembled various friends of his from Cincinnati for a clam pie dinner so she could make connections. "All ... had me round for dinner when I got out to my new home," Groth wrote. "It was a typically warm gesture from a warm and lovely man."
