Why the cosmological constant is small and positive: May 2006 arXiv paper (astro-ph/0605173) by Paul Steinhardt and Neil Turok, using their "cyclic" model of cosmology to explain the small magnitude of Λ.

Accelerating the Cosmos
James Glanz
Astronomy, October 1999, pp. 44-51: Observational efforts to measure the Hubble constant now indicate that the speed of expansion of the universe is actually increasing. If so, this implies there is a (non-zero) "cosmological constant" in the equations of general relativity.
The Mystery of the Cosmological Constant
Larry Abbott
Scientific American, May 1998, pp. 106-113: The cosmological constant measures the energy content of the vacuum. Theoretical estimates of the magnitude of the constant, based on the conjectured physics of Higgs fields, are very far in excess of possible values based on observation.
Playing Cosmology's Wild Card
Ken Croswell
Astronomy, April 1997, pp. 57-59: Cosmologists since Einstein have been loath to include a non-zero cosmological constant in the equation of general relativity. But such a constant would imply an increase in the rate of the expansion of the universe, hence an older age than allowed by a constant rate of expansion.

Donald Goldsmith - Einstein's Greatest Blunder? The Cosmological Constant and Other Fudge Factors in the Physics of the Universe
Harvard University Press, 1995: Provides a non-technical description of the cosmological constant and how it is involved in describing the structure and evolution of the universe. Many topics in cosmology such as the age of the universe, its average density and rate of expansion, and dark matter are covered.
