| Friend | Alfred Kohlberg |
| Friend | Chiang Kai-shek |
| Notes | Kohlberg embraced almost any ally, so long as it opposed the Soviet behemoth in ways supportive of U.S. interests. The politicians and leaders he admired most, and befriended, reveal something about his thinking. The list includes Chiang Kai-shek, Syngman Rhee, Senators McCarthy, McCarran, and Jenner; Richard Nixon, and at the end of his life, Barry M. Goldwater. |
