[PW] articles on Dave Foreman in PLAYBOY and a 1986 Australian magazine

[Dennis Lien]

I've got a request from someone who believes there was a PLAYBOY interview
with environmental activist Dave Foreman (of Earth First!), probably in the
early 1990s.  As my partial preliminary answer (copied below) indicates, I
can't find a trace of such an interview.  I thought it may instead be a
case where Foreman was being quoted in a general article on Earth First!,
but a search of ACCESS in print form (we don't have the online version)
didn't show any PLAYBOY articles 1975 to date under that subject heading
either.  (Nor did it show the Mike Roselle piece of some sort that, per
one website below, apparently appeared in April 1993 issue.)

Does anyone have any other/better indexing to PLAYBOY for the period
that they could check?

On a longer shot, client also believes Foreman was interviewed or
profiled by Bill DuVall in a 1986 Australian magazine called SIMPLE
LIVING.  There's a US magazine of that title, but it had not begun
in 1986; I can't find any trace of an Australian namesake in WorldCat,
RLIN, COPAC, AMICUS, or the Libraries Australia database at the NLA:

Any Wombats from the land of the wombat (or elsewhere) with a lead
on that one?

thanks as always...

my initial reply to client was in part:

This site seems to list almost all PLAYBOY interview subjects from 1962 on:

http://www.msu.edu/~daggy/cop/bkofdead/pboyintv.htm

but Dave Foreman is not among them.  However, his Earth First colleague
Mike Roselle was apparently interviewed in the April 1993 issue, and
talked about Foreman in the interview, per

  The following is from an interview with Earth First! co-founder Mike 
Roselle in
the April 1993 issue of Playboy <snip>

and Roselle doesn't show at msu.edu site either, so I'm not sure how complete
it is.

PLAYBOY is indexed in the print index (no electronic version) ACCESS:

Title            Access.
Published       Syracuse, N.Y., John Gordon Burke Publisher, inc. [etc.]

Note    "A supplementary index to periodicals."

but I looked through each volume from 1975 to present without finding a
PLAYBOY entry for Foreman in the subject indexes.  I did find a half
dozen or so articles about Foreman in other magazines, including at
least one interview (in OUTSIDE for November 1995; v.20, pp.74-75).
