The missing page
The file is not closed. Nobody in the chain has seen the cited issue — everyone leans on the same Google Books record.
The volume is in snippet view: the search confirms the phrase occurs inside it, but the page stays hidden. The secondary sources — Popik, the Guardian, the Bar Association of San Francisco — all point back at that same trail. Closing it takes the issue itself: Cosmopolitan, October 1985, US edition — a scan of the interview page with the masthead visible. Routes: a back-issue dealer; a WorldCat holdings search for the 1985 serial run; the Hearst corporate archive.
This file stands on nothing.
It is recorded because it occurs. It is not cited because no source has yet been found that will carry it. The hole is part of the file, not an omission from it.
