Among the unforeseen events, Kothavala said, are the financial squeeze and a trend towards professionalization in undergraduate science education. A shortage of $7 million in the fund of theProgram for Science in Harvard College prevented the construction of a $13 million biology-chemistry building and forced the director of the Science Center to be a financial manager and fund-raiser rather than an educator, he said...
...advanced by Howard R. Penniman, professor of government at Georgetown University, in a paper published by the American Enterprise Institute. In the same publication, Ralph K. Winter Jr., professor of law at Yale, argues that Government regulation of a campaigner's fund will "skew the political process in unforeseen and undesirable ways." Candidates opposed to the Establishment would suffer most. If campaign contributions were controlled by law, how could a McCarthy mount a challenge to a sitting President of his own party? To get the candidate around the country, on the tube, and in the papers, takes money...

The fiscal-1971 deficit is the unforeseen result of a $20 billion forecasting error; Nixon had originally budgeted a $1.3 billion surplus.* His projections were knocked askew by the recession, which is holding revenues about $8 billion below early estimates and forcing higher spending for such things as unemployment compensation and interest on the national debt...
...college education in roughly the same class as a house mortgage. Yale and consortiums of medical and business schools are trying to set up small pilot versions of the idea. To convince banks to provide capital, the planners are asking foundations like Ford and Sloan to help guarantee any unforeseen losses. The result has stirred widespread controversy. The major issue is who should pay for the benefits of education-society or the students themselves...
