Sanford J. Shattil, Open access, yes! Open excess, no!, Blood Journal, May 1, 2004. An editorial endorsing the DC Principles, keeping its distance from OA, mistaking the upfront processing fees for "author fees", and never quite explaining what "excess" means in the title. Shattil asserts that if Blood used the upfront funding model, it would have to charge at least $2700 per article. It's not clear whether this figure includes surplus for the society publishing Blood, the American Society of Hematology. (Thanks to Virginia Barbour.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
