If George is referring to _Stems, nodes, crown clades, and rank-free
lists: is Linnaeus dead?_, that article can be read online at
http://palaeo.gly.bris.ac.uk/phylocode/biolrev.html
(and makes fascinating reading IMHO.)
If it's not the same article as the one George is talking about (which
is possible since it was published in November 2000 in _Biological
Reviews, vol. 75, pp. 633-648) then it is at least the same author's
perspectives on the same issues, so should cover much of the same
ground.
