The distribution of wealth is even more unequal than that of income. ...The wealthiest 5% of American households held 54% of all wealth reported in the 1989 survey. Their share rose to 61% in 2010 and reached 63% in 2013. By contrast, the rest of those in the top half of the wealth distribution —families that in 2013 had a net worth between $81,000 and $1.9 million —held 43% of wealth in 1989 and only 36% in 2013.

One of the interesting things about Twitter is looking how famous people choose to use it. Take someone like Steve Martin, who I follow: it's all sorts of comic gems, nothing private, nothing personal - all jokes. Other celebrities are overtly personal - like Charlie Sheen. I do a mix of observations and updates.

Gene Corrigan

But sometimes you find that one guy who has just the right intangibles for the job he's in. I think that's Charlie at Notre Dame.

Sarah Snook

There are 365 days in the year, and as a working actor, you might only work 17 of them. You might only need to do two ads and you can afford to live for the year, but it doesn't make for a very satisfactory or fulfilling life. The point isn't to not work - it's to work.

Frank Newport

We know from the recent Super Bowl in this country that a lot of these beer ads were aimed at men between 21 and 34. So we certainly have this perception that young people are drinking the most, but that's not necessarily the case.

Eric Schmidt

In our case, we focus on quality, and we have a very simple model. If we show fewer ads that are more targeted, those ads are worth more. So we're in this strange situation where we show a smaller number of ads and we make more money because we show better ads. And that's the secret of Google.

Peggy Conlon

We are proud to join Mrs. Bush and continue our successful partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America with this new advertising, which has the potential to positively impact so many young people in our country.

Whether these suits have any validity is another question, but I think you're going to see more of them. I've seen ads saying, 'If you've been a customer of XYZ firm and lost money, you'll be able to recover it.' You'll see a lot of ambulance-chasing lawyers trying to feed off of this.
