...what could be considered "The Fall of Man: The Sequel," a priceless marble statue of ADAM tumbled off its pedestal at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Created by Venetian sculptor Tullio Lombardo between 1490 and 1495, the 6-ft. 3-in., 1,800-lb. statue broke into several pieces, with the arms and legs sustaining particularly bad fractures. Curators have determined that the pedestal buckled of its own accord. The statue, which the Met acquired in 1936, is expected to be restored and put back on display in two years, with evidence of the damage visible to only the most...

...Mayor Tullio admits that abolishing CETA will not throw all 500 CETA employees out of work. He estimates that the non-profit agencies will end up placing on their own payrolls as many as half of those currently paid by CETA. Says Tullio resignedly: "The things we're going to have to live without, we're going to have to live without." Meanwhile, most CETA workers are determined to find other jobs, rather than join the welfare rolls. "I'll try to find work," says David Goodwill, who is now paid $3.75 an hour by CETA...
