Baby Face Gross
Baby Face Nelson, a notorious gangster, was so
ruthless that even Al Capone didn't want to work with
him. Baby Face Gross is no Baby Face Nelson, but
ODS Chair Mirek Topolánek and ex-Premier Milo
Zeman have started talking about Stan's corruptive and
mobster tendencies. Gross has openly offered jobs for
votes and is suspected of much worse. To get
confirmation for his cabinet, he'll still need to win
support from the Zemanites. Jobs, bribes or
privatization goodies might work on some, but Alexandr
Mitrofanov of Právo suggested that extortion might be
what it takes to bring the biggest troublemakers into
line. The financial markets have already basically
decided that Gross is going to succeed in forming a
government. On the surface this suggests that traders in
London think that Gross is a rather ruthless SOB who
can even get Zeman "out of the way." mafia Stanislav
