The June issue of Wired Magazine has a profile of Harold Varmus and PLoS by Jamie Shreeve, "Free Radical" (pp. 136-143). Unfortunately it won't appear in the online edition until June 1. I'll blog an excerpt when it appears, but in the meantime find the print edition.

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.
