(Back from travels and too much sculpture!)
WSJ has a good article (subscribers only online, unfortunately) about DFA today on the front of the 4th special section. It gives a good explanation of the differences between the DFA approach and Vanguard's, helping explain the "cult status" DFA has managed to cultivate.
It does need an advisor for individuals to get into their funds, unfortunately. Some of the people here and readers of WLLM have had good luck with Evanson Asset Mgmt (www.evansonasset.com) in terms of finding a fairly-priced advisor who can get them access to these funds.
