I'm trying to determine the date of the Apollo 14 crew pre-launch news conference. Any help would be appreciated.

Google newspaper archive has some problems. They ran OCR on newspaper microfilms and a lot of articles have scrambled names or run together with other article titles in the search catalog. Also, I've found many papers filed 20 years off because the OCR misread 1988 as 1968, etc, etc, etc. You just have to block out a narrow date range and search for one or two words, such as "Apollo" or "astronaut" or "NASA". | |
