Thanks for your interest in the file, Nguyen.  As Peter guessed, I
changed a configuration so that www.stat.wisc.edu/~bates is served
from a departmental machine instead of a private machine.  I have
copied the file JSM2001.pdf to the departmental server so the URL
             http://www.stat.wisc.edu/~bates/JSM2001.pdf
is valid again.

By the way, that PDF file opens in 'full-screen' mode, which sometimes
confuses browsers.  I recommend that you download the file then open
it in a PDF viewer application like acrobat.
