Missing the last European Championship in 2016 and the World Cup 2018 has created a gap. That’s a shame.
If you look at the Greek economic record, it’s been very similar to the U.S. experience in the first four years of the Great Depression. And after having a Depression-sized event, they’ve cut the unit-labor cost in Greece – they’ve closed something like half the gap with Germany.
I’m fascinated by the skills gap.

So why am I an A’s fan? Because, from 1901 to 1954, they were the Philadelphia Athletics. Philadelphia is my home town. The A’s were the team I loved as a kid, and no gap of space or time can fray that bond.
I make it a point to have my meals after every two hour gap and am very particular about it.

Simply being a guest on David Letterman’s show has been a highlight of my career. I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave’s lead.

It’s great that Maryland is tied for having the lowest wage gap between our working men and women of any state in the nation, but there’s more work to do to eliminate that gap entirely.

Most Scots might be able to identify six vegetables – but only two MSPs. There are parts of Scotland where you rarely get more than 40% turnout at the polls. There’s a big disconnect there, and I think comedians bridge that gap.
I think my gap adds character. A while ago, on the street, a guy yelled, ‘You could stick a gold through your front teeth!’ Which meant I could put a £1 coin between them. But you can’t. I’ve tried! Fifty-pence coins and 2-pence coins, yes. But not a pound.
If we want to make the most of half of our workforce, if we want to eliminate the gender pay gap and we want that same half of the workforce to succeed in jobs that boost our economy, we must make sure that teenage girls don’t feel, and are certainly not told, that certain subjects are the preserve of men.
Most moms and dads, they want to be good moms and dads. But it’s an incredibly hard job when you are stressed out, when you are poor, when your life is in chaos.

There is absolutely a gap in the market for thirty something women and, the more I look at it, the more I feel there needs to be a sense of ease and choice.
I think that some part of society is worried that the racial achievement gap is not going to close. And so we’ve become obsessed with trying to find instances of racism to explain it.
With clothing being designed that allows you to be hugged virtually, video conferencing becoming ever sharper, and our social and romantic lives increasingly taking place online, the gap between the physical and the virtual is getting ever smaller.
When it comes to discrimination, Americans pride ourselves on how far we’ve come. Racial segregation is history. Explicit sex discrimination is banned. Same-sex marriage is the law of the land. But amidst all the progress, the male-female wage gap persists, and it’s big.
Some members of the ruling class are making a concerted effort to expand the wealth gap.

There are lots of reasons for that gap between men’s and women’s wages but to me, the big one is the work-family issue.

The most significant social pathology of my youth was the generation gap.
It’s difficult in your life when both parents pass so quickly and you’re not really that old when they move on. There is a big gap in your life. There’s a hole. You learn to live with it but never forget it.

There are three things I look for in a story – it has to be a thriller; I cannot see myself writing literary fiction or a saga! There has to be a historical connection; otherwise, the adrenalin will not flow. And I will try to bridge the gap between ‘Rozabal’ and ‘Chanakya’.
