Unwanted gaps

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lapses

(Other definitions for lapses that I've seen before include "Falls in standards of behaviour" , "declines" , "Slips as of concentration" , "Failures to maintain a higher state" , "Slight errors caused by forgetfulness" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
