Feerst is a perennial candidate for IEEE office.  His 'mischief'
consists of believing that the IEEE should work for the benefit
of individual members, in the areas of salaries, pensions, recognition,
and others, as opposed to the establishment view that the IEEE
should serve the corporate world and work for the benefit of large
employers.  A dangerous man indeed, one who should be surpressed
and not allowed a public voice.  Can you say 'job security?'
