An author insisted in a British court Wednesday that there were major similarities between his nonfiction book and Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" -- but conceded there were also substantial differences.
"We were writing historical conjecture, and Mr. Brown was writing a novel," said Michael Baigent, co-author of "The Holy Blood, and the Holy Grail." "One would expect their perspectives to be marginally different, if not substantially different."
