[PW] fiction in November 1982 PLAYBOY?

[Bob Boyce]

Dennis--
  I'm surprised that no one has responded by now to your request. Here's the information from the Novmeber 1982 Playboy. Two fiction pieces:

Author: Stanley Elkin. 
Title: George Mills.
starts on page 96.
  Tagline:"Living in a town built by sleight of hand and kept alive by illusion can take all the magic out of growing up."

Author: Mitch Sisskind
Title: The Second Coming.
starts on page 118.
Tagline: "If this story survives the holocaust, future generations may trace our religious roots back to a Nativity story in which the Madonna's name is Shirley."

Subject: [PW] fiction in November 1982 PLAYBOY?

I've mentioned the Fictionmags Index here before...
http://www.philsp.com/homeville/FMI/0start.htm
among the relatively recent additions to it have been listings
for the fiction in almost all issues of PLAYBOY from first issue
to the present (not that they publish much fiction in recent
years).
http://www.philsp.com/homeville/FMI/b142.htm#A2134
"Almost" all because we're missing data for the
November 1982 issue, and the U of Minnesota's microfilm
for that volume (29) is missing so I can't supply it.
(Not only do I "only look at it for the articles," I
apparently "only look at it for the indexing" -- there's
a librarianish attitude for you.
Anyway -- if anyone on the list has access to a copy
of said issue and would be willing to check the table
of contents for title, author, and starting page for
any short stories or other pieces cited as "fiction"
I'd much appreciate it. (It's unlikely there are
more than one or two such.) Thanks...
