WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History has always seemed like a kind of temple to me as a devoted disciple of American history. As an intern there this summer, I work on an exhibit about the Star-Spangled Banner and the flag in American culture, and few things could be more American or encompass more of history than my exhibit, “For Which It Stands.” But for all the flag’s symbolism and emotional appeal, even it was not able to touch...

Indeed, the gift of a five-dollar t-shirt on the part of a vendor might be returned with a $50,000 purchase by an information technology manager. Businesses call it customer relationship management (CRM for short), or “touch” or leveraging relationships. Whatever you call it, the concept is simple: even when the business involves tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars, transactions are still a person-to-person affair, and flattery will...
