...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.

After failed brakes sent him into a tree 20 years ago, William Mathauser, an aeronautical engineer from Anacortes, Wash., set out to improve the system. His hydraulic brake has just gone into full production...

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...
