| Abstract: | Whenever the subject of the December 1989 Malta Summit between US President George Bush and Soviet Chairman Mikhail Gorbachev is raised, the first thing that is inevitably referred to is the weather. The image of the two most powerful leaders in the world navigating the stormy Maltese waters to come together during this historical period is often recalled more than the substance of their discussions. My memory of the day is as a seven-year-old child being bundled up and dragged down to stand by the sea in the blustering wind to stare at two big ships, where nothing much seemed to be happening. |
