The route retraces the hokum of Dan Brown’s best-selling fiction in London, following in the footsteps of Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu, the heroes played by Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou in the spin-off movie. I had been hoping for rain, for some gothic gloom, a fanfare of thunder, a crack of lightning but, alas, the River Thames glitters gold in the afternoon sun, the wrong kind of alchemy altogether. As if on cue, the church’s organ shatters the silence - something by Bach - like a movie soundtrack, prompting visions of the gripping kidnap scene, the gunfire, Silas the red-eyed albino monk from Opus Dei pressing his knife to Neveu’s throat, Teabing bundled into a getaway car. Hicks’s arms become a flurry, pointing up, to the left and right, then above our heads, to symbols linking the Templars to Freemasonry and across the road to the law courts of the Old Bailey. Then there’s a headlong rush down the stairwell of Temple Tube, where Langdon and Neveu jump the barrier, pacing the platform, keen to race to the nearby sanctum of Westminster Abbey, where the next clue, and its solution, await.

Atlanta museum features local students’ work 021710 oconee 3 Correspondent At the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, current exhibits include works by Leonardo da Vinci, famed Atlanta architect John Portman, acclaimed folk artist the Rev. For the third consecutive year, paintings, drawings and even clothing created by Oconee County students are on display in the High Museum’s Greene Family Education Center. North Oconee art teacher Cathi Mutimer, who spearheaded bringing local art to the museum three years ago, said the relationship between the museum and the schools began rather suddenly. I stayed after the trip to speak to the people at the museum, and we made arrangements to have our students’ work showcased. She added that the exhibit is restricted to Advanced Placement art students at the two public schools and Athens Academy students who are completing their senior portfolios. The work by the students has won critical notice and appreciation, and Mutimer hopes to be able to continue to help local students have their work displayed in such an august venue.
