Speaking of protectors, how could Beowulf Sheaffer become a protector in
"Down in Flames"?  DIF takes place about the same time as The Ringworld
Engineers, in which Louis Wu is well over 200 years old.  Beowulf is Louis's
stepfather, so he is closer to 300...way WAY past the maximum age to become
a protector!  Ideas?
