In today's world of instant tradition, artifacts quickly qualify for commem oration. If object is history's most expensive private engineering enter prise, a twentieth birthday will do nicely. Between October 1997 and April 1998, Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History (NMAH) provided a meeting ground for endless frontier of technology and America's last physical frontier. Patrick Crow, Washington correspon dent for Oil and Gas Journal, explained that the idea for show came about a year ago in a typically Washington way: Alyeska Pipeline Service Co.'s Washington representative met a Smithsonian curator [Lonnie Bunch] at a party. Their conversation led to Alyeska's offer to donate items to museum.1
