25 YEARS AGO THE moon men breathed again today after an emergency move got them out of trouble at the end of a two-hour docking drama. Five times the ice-cool crew failed to complete the docking of the spidery moonlander Antares with the parent spacecraft Kitty Hawk. Then at the sixth attempt, using an emergency procedure, the Kitty Hawk was manoeuvred into a link-up. The Apollo 14 astronauts do not know now whether their moon landing will go ahead. 50 YEARS AGO HERBS FOR CONSTIPATION
