SIEGEL: And Easy Company succeeded. Then  Malarkey  and  his  platoon pushed through France to the Netherlands  into Belgium  Luxembourg and Germany.
SIEGEL:  Donald Malarkey  spent 172 days on the front lines  more than any other man in Easy Company.
KELLY: For his actions  the U.S. gave  Donald Malarkey  a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.  Malarkey  got married  had a family.  He  became an Oregon county commissioner. Later  he  worked in insurance and real estate.

World War II Vet Donald Malarkey Portrayed In 'Band Of Brothers' Dies At 96


question:
What now? Mrs Merkel will meet with Frank-Walter Steinmeier  Germanyâs federal president  this morning to discuss next steps. Four possible outcomes present themselves. The FDP might be coaxed back to the negotiating table by plausible concessions from the CDU  CSU and Greens. But do not count on it. Mr Lindnerâs language was ominously final. And the Greens (seemingly the main target of FDP recrimination) declared that they had reached their âpain thresholdâ and could not budge another centimetre.
The second possibility is a new âgrand coalitionâ marrying the CDU/CSU and the centre-left Social Democrats (SDP)  who together have a workable majority in the Bundestag. But the SPD has strenuously ruled out the option. Having lost distinctiveness and votes in partnership with  Mrs Merkel    its  leaders and activists fear another spin with the chancellor could do their party terminal damage. Perhaps  just perhaps   Mrs Merkel   the media and Germanyâs European partners can persuade them to take the risk. But months after its worst election result in post-war German history  the SPD will most probably reject the overtures.
In the absence of a viable majority government   Mrs Merkel  could form a minority one  concocting vote-by-vote majorities in the Bundestag. This might combine the CDU/CSU with the FDP  its traditional governing partner (together they would be 29 seats short of a majority). But a more natural fit would now be a black-green coalition with the Greens (42 seats short of a majority). Last night each side found generous words for the other  and they were as one in their contempt for the FDP. At federal level post-war Germany has witnessed no minority administrations  though one ran North-Rhine Westphalia  the countryâs largest state  from 2010 to 2012. Such governments are alien both to the stable  long-termist ways of the German state and to  Mrs Merkelâs  plodding leadership style. How long one would even last in the current circumstances is unclear.
That leaves the fourth  most drastic option: new elections. The route is not as simple as it sounds. Unlike some other European parliaments  the Bundestag cannot just dissolve itself (a legacy of Weimar-era instability) and as  Mrs Merkel  has not yet been reinstalled as chancellor  she  cannot call a straight confidence vote. Instead Mr Steinmeier must nominate a candidate for the job. If  Mrs Merkel  (for  it  would be  she ) failed to win an absolute majority in two successive Bundestag votes  which can be separated by two weeks   she  would go to a third vote at which a simple majority would suffice. Only then could Mr Steinmeier dissolve the Bundestag  triggering a new election within 60 days.
If possible  Germanyâs establishmentâincluding  Mrs Merkel  and Mr Steinmeierâwill seek to avoid new elections. These could most benefit the far-right Alternative for Germany and would not necessarily rupture the deadlock  current polls putting the main parties very close to the results they obtained at the September election. In  her  comments last night  Mrs Merkel  emphasised that  her  party would âtake responsibility for this country  even in difficult timesâ.  She  is determined  in other words  to make the best of the hand the German people dealt  her  in September. Precisely how  she  plans to proceed should become clearer today.
In recent years Germany has been a pillar of stable government in Europe and  Mrs Merkel  a seemingly permanent feature of the landscape (consider that  her  international counterparts when  she  first took office were Jacques Chirac  Tony Blair and George W. Bush). Both of those truths are now  if not dead  then slipping away. The next German government will take months more to emerge and will be distinctly fragile in comparison with its predecessors. The end of the Merkel era has surely begun  though whether it has weeks  months or a short number of years to run is anyoneâs guess. Last nightâs events confirmed Emmanuel Macron as Europeâs top leader while making the French presidentâs grand plans for euro-zone reformâfor which he needs a confident and outward-looking Germanyâyet harder to achieve. The ripples of Mr Lindnerâs doubtful decision will travel far beyond his countryâs borders.

Germanyâs preliminary coalition talks collapse


question:
CLEVELAND â The New York Yankees of the mid-to-late 1990s have acquired their own mythology. Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera and Jorge Posada and the rest of the dynastic Yankees seem  through the lens of the present  to have emerged fully formed as a colossus.  Brian Cashman  has a different perspective  because  he  witnessed them come together. âThat team â  Cashman  said  âwas young  too  at one point.â
The common refrain has it that the current Yankees have arrived ahead of schedule. Maybe thatâs true in part. For  Cashman  and for the rest of the Yankees  both the Baby Bombers and ancient pinstripers such as CC Sabathia and Brett Gardner  they have arrived  period. Theyâre here  among the final four teams standing in a season flush with uncommonly great teams  with a sole expectation: While they have a chance  win the World Series.
â âArriving earlyâ implies some guarantee of arriving in the future â  Cashman  said. âIâve been around the block long enough to know  listen  you just seize the moment.â
The Yankees may have qualified for the playoffs as a wild card  but they are part of the raft of âsuperteams â to use  Cashman âs phrase  dominating the playoffs. The Yankees finished the season with the second-best run differential in baseball  behind only the Indians  and won 91 games.
The Yankees are cast in these playoffs as an upstart. They sold off Andrew Miller  Aroldis Chapman  Carlos Beltran and Brian McCann and shed Alex Rodriguez last season. But they re-signed Chapman in free agency  and when young stars Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez led the Yankees to a strong start   Cashman  added reinforcements with aggression  dealing prospects for Todd Frazier  Tommy Kahnle and David Robertson.
answer:

The Yankees may have arrived early but they can win the World Series with their bullpen
