After Disclosure of Sierra Club’s Gifts From Gas Driller, a Roiling Debate - NYTimes.com;
"The recent disclosure of the Sierra Club’s secret acceptance of $26 million in donations from people associated with a natural gas company has revived an uncomfortable debate among environmental groups about corporate donations and transparency.
