...MSFDC will help banks navigate the coming online-commerce maelstrom by building closer customer ties. He's right: a product like MSFDC--with, say, Money and Investor along for the ride--will surely help your banker retain your allegiance. "The financial industry is based on transaction processing," says Cliff Condon, a senior analyst with Forrester Research, which estimates Microsoft's financial-services sales at $1 billion a year. "MSFDC puts Microsoft squarely between banks and their customers...
...Condon has been selective in his campaign. No woman has been arrested for putting a baby at risk by alcohol consumption or tobacco use--despite the fact that babies born with serious health problems as a result of booze and nicotine far outnumber babies born with cocaine in their systems. "I would be on a legal slippery slope if I tried to prosecute women who used legal substances," says Condon. But he is warning social workers and drug-abuse counselors that they too could be prosecuted and jailed if they fail to turn in pregnant women found...
...Condon, 44, took statewide office in 1994, but already he is being touted for Governor and beyond.

Two have been executed this year in South Carolina, but Condon expects the numbers to rise next year. (Sixty-nine...
...Condon didn't start out that way. At Duke law school, says a classmate, Condon was a middle-of-the-road Democrat. He became a local prosecutor in 1980 at age 27--the youngest in state history. But in the early 1990s, he sensed changes in the political winds, critics say, and switched parties. "Charlie Condon will be anything that 51% of the population wants him to be," says a bitter Dick Harpootlian, a Columbia lawyer who lost to Condon in 1994. "He's now helping move South Carolina faster toward the 19th century than toward the 21st...
