Linnix traveled to Bloomington from Emory University in Atlanta to study a collection of her manuscripts matched only by those in the Library of Congress.

Camilla's Cooking Corner

By Alyson Brodsy and Camilla Saulsbury · Tuesday, Feb. 19,2002 2:07 a.m.

When I was little, I used to wonder why Goldilocks did not thank the three bears for letting her steal some of their oatmeal: gray, gummy lumpiness? I would have gladly given up mine. It was not until my teenage years that I learned the pleasures of a good bowl of oatmeal. When made correctly, it is smooth, silky and soothing. Made with milk and a dash of cinnamon, then topped with brown sugar, dried cherries and nuts. These days I find myself cozying up to a big bowl on many mornings and admiring the wisdom of those bears.
