The first publication seems to have been the July 1950 issue of Cosmopolitan (http://www.philsp.com/homeville/fmi/t/t1890.htm#A39348).  A copy is going for $99 on eBay.  I'd ask a reference librarian if they have a way to get access - it's hard to tell which libraries have archives.  (Though there might be a copy in the BYU library in their Hawks collection, the listing is a bit ambiguous - http://files.lib.byu.edu/ead/XML/MSS1404.xml)  Some of Frank's papers are at the U of Florida though these appear to be mainly related to his novels.

>I'm trying to track down anything about the story "The Girl who almost got away" which MAN'S FAVORITE SPORT is based on.  It was published in Cosmopolitan in 1962 but access to issues of that magazine from that time is not easy to come by.  Does anyone know anything about the original story (in particular, one of my students asked if the sport in the original is also fishing) and does anyone perhaps even have a copy of it?
