Two questions

The back wheel of my semi-daily rider bound up on Tuesday morning. Taking it apart today, I found the freehub to be very loose. Is this a somewhat common occurrence? I didn't check to see if it might be stripped, but simply tightened it back up and moved on. 92 Schwinn Paramount
My other morning rider is suffering from very poor braking (practically non-existent). I recently built this one up and am wondering if the problem might be mis-matched levers and calipers. It's a 73 World Voyageur, with centerpull brakes and Shimano 600 EX levers.
As always, thanks in advance
