Dan Brown court opponents Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh have been profiled in The Independent (note, will probably be archived and disappear within a few days). A strange piece - while Richard Leigh sounds utterly unenthused about the writing of Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Michael Baigent says of the upcoming court appeal (Jan 17th, 2007):

It's been terrible. The case is going to appeal in January, and while I'd like to say I'm optimistic of the outcome, it's the law. Can you ever be optimistic of winning against the law?

A strangish statement to make about his chances to say the least...
