NEW YORK -- The man who published "The Da Vinci Code" is resigning. Stephen Rubin, a publishing executive since 1984 whose authors have included Dan Brown, John Grisham and Pat Conroy, said Thursday that he was stepping down as executive vice president and publisher-at-large of Random House Inc., effective Oct. 2. Rubin, 67, had headed the Doubleday Broadway Group before his division was dispersed last December in a corporate consolidation. After starting his new position, in February, his acquisitions included a memoir by former President George W. Bush and short stories by Grisham.
