"Neutron Star" and "There is a Tide" are *not* the same story. The
former, as you mention, stars Bey Shaeffer; the latter stars Louis Wu
(which was why the original poster mentioned it). If you don't believe
me, you can look them up in NEUTRON STAR and TALES OF KNOWN SPACE.
	BTW, I agree with you --- Bey is just as interesting, if not
more so, than Louis Wu or Gil Hamilton.

Well, you're _a_l_m_o_s_t right.  It was Louis's father,
Carlos Wu.

In my copy of "Tales of Known Space" it's Louis. The only story I've ever
read featuring Carlos Wu is "The Borderland of Sol".
