Self-described nonprofit research groups face new scrutiny over their links to special interest groups after disclosure that Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff paid at least two outside writers for opinion articles promoting work of his clients; issue of whether supposedly independent writers and researchers are having their work underwritten--directly or indirectly--by lobbyists and other special interests is not new; but payments by Abramoff and closer review of work of Institute for Policy Innovation, founded by former House Republican leader Dick Armey, are evidence that ties may be much closer than research organizations, conservative and liberal, would prefer to admit; Bush administration has acknowledged that it paid outside writers, including conservative columnist Armstrong Williams, to promote its policies; while major newspapers and magazines usually insist that outside writers disclose conflicts of interest, editors do not routinely conduct background checks (M)
