'>Many objects in daily use have clearly been influenced by science, but their form andfunction, their dimensions and appearance, were determined by technologists, artisans, designers, inventors, and engineers-using non-scientific modes of thought. Many features and qualities of the objects that a technologist thinks about cannot be reduced to unambiguous verbal descriptions; they are dealt with in the mind by a visual, nonverbal process. In the development of Western technology, it has been non-verbal thinking, by and large, that has fixed the outlines and filled in the details of our material surroundings. Pyramids, cathedrals, and rockets exist not because of geometry or thermodynamics, but because they were first a picture in the minds of those who built them. The creative shaping process of a technologist's mind can be seen in nearly every artifact that exists. For example, in designing a diesel engine, a technologist might impress individual ways of nonverbal thinking on the machine by continually using an intuitive sense of rightness and fitness. Wha
The question of ethics in the legal profession is one that has plagued the industry since its inception. The common image of an attorney is one who will resort to any unethical trick to（1）the laws to fit his purposes. In the more specific industry of criminal law, defense attorneys are often criticized for advocating（2） defendants who are “obviously guilty,” thus becoming roadblocks on the path to（3）. Much to the contrary, （4）, defense attorneys provide a valuable service that should earn them praise, not scorn. While it is true that every lawyer will do everything （5） to interpret the laws in the manner most beneficial to his client, such a characterization is （6） limited to defense attorneys. The prosecutor will do the same thing, employing all his legal knowledge and know-how to establish the guilt of the defendant.（7 ）, the vague nature of the law is highlighted, and it becomes a virtual necessity for each side to use every tool （8）, on the assumption that the other side will also use every tool at his. The net result emerges as a positive, （9） the tricks of the opposing attorney cancel one another out, leaving only the truth, clearer and （10）manipulation,（11）the jury’s consideration. Further, the defense attorney is a vital element of the American judicial system, （12）without him the defendant would stand no chance whatsoever. Under the constitution, even the most “obvious guilty” defendants （13）the right to a fair trial, involving someone able and willing to advocate on his behalf. Of course, there are bad apples in the industry who are （14）and care nothing for actual justice, and （15） only concerns are their wallets. Generally speaking, however, without （16）, the system would crumble into a mere machine in which defendants are assumed guilty, without a chance to argue or prove （17）, and many innocent people（18） with crimes would be severely punished for transgressions that they didn’t commit. It is a basic fact that the adversarial system of justice in the United States is necessary in order to ensure（19）and most unbiased presentation and evaluation of the facts possible. Without defense attorneys, that system cannot be carried out, and （20）a loss of the civil liberties that the nation enjoys and treasures. To that end, all of those who make that process a reality, including defense attorneys, deserve our support and admiration, not our suspicion and disdain.
