They started a Dear Mikhail-Dear George correspondence. When several of Gorbachev's letters reiterated stale positions in boilerplate language, Bush complained that they seemed to have been drafted by the Soviet Foreign Ministry (as indeed they had). That was part of the reason he suggested they hold their first meeting at Malta. The two hit it off spectacularly. Gorbachev came away convinced that Bush would not try to exploit his difficulties, while Bush developed an even deeper sense of engagement in the fate of a fellow leader...

...soon felt safe from the thugs; my four roommates had all written me letters in the summer before college. Two out of four wrote form letters: "Dear roommate," one letter began, its author too lazy even to type a different name into his word processor. One roommate spent most of his letter talking about what he would bring to the room in terms of computer software...
