Pressure mounts within SLD to oust Miller and stop slide in polls

"Now is a good time to undertake radical measures... I think that separation of the functions of head of the party and Prime Minister would be such a measure," SLD's number two man, Józef Oleksy, said on Friday. Some SLD deputies, such as Michał Kaczmarek, see the need for even more radical changes, such as removal of Miller from both positions. According to some rumors, Miller's ousting is possible even before the party's March convention. (Rzeczpospolita, Feb. 14-15, p. A3) T.J.
