Quoted from <3315@drutx.UUCP> ["Re: SF using lover's age differences"], by slb@drutx.UUCP (Sue Brezden)...
+---------------
| Larry Niven tends to have a great age mismatch between his lovers,
| also.  For instance, in Ringworld we have Teela Brown and Louis Wu.  
| And who can forget the lady with the horrible long name that Louis 
| finally gets?  (I'm not at home, so can't look it up.)  There are
| other examples, also.
| 
| What other SF writers have used this device? 
+---------------

Halrloprillalar.  (And you thought Romana's full name was bad! :-)

Of course the foremost example of this is Lazarus Long and Dora Brandon...

Lazarus Long and Dora Brandon was nothing.  Try Lazarus Long and 
'Mama Maureen'.  And they do say "Incest is Best" :-)
