...KORZENIEWSKI, 43 If there is one man who understands the transition from old Washington to new, it's Bob Korzeniewski, CFO of Network Solutions. An accountant by training, Korzeniewski worked for a decade for SAIC, a research and engineering firm. In 1995 SAIC bought Network Solutions, then the sole registrar of names on the Internet. Since that time Korzeniewski has inspired Network Solutions to morph from government grantee to NASDAQ darling, orchestrating the company's successful 1997 initial public offering. Last year many analysts predicted Network Solutions would be crushed when it had to give up its monopoly...

Down the hall past the "Batcave," their boss was recently spotted interviewing CFO candidates while dressed in shorts, his shoeless feet propped up on the desk. Soon a former circus juggler will be leading visitors through a sculpting class in the Annex, where they will come across the newly hired CFO on her lunch hour. She is slapping clay on a wire figure...
...that why we won the contract? But Colburn insisted it was realpolitik, not quality, that drove them into bed with Microsoft. Poor old Apple, meanwhile, claimed rougher treatment at Redmond's hands before its own Explorer deal: Microsoft "threatened to abandon the Mac," according to a memo from Apple CFO Fred Anderson unveiled in court Tuesday. All in all, it's not the best prologue Microsoft could have hoped for in advance of Bill Gates's taped testimony -- which will be shown on Thursday, after all. The way the government's case is going, Gates will be facing assault...
