The first issue of U.S. News & World Report was the first time David Lawrence combined his two separate publications, United States News and World Report. The cover story was about the Marshall Plan, "a directive that would aid 270 million people in 16 countries in West Europe." . . . General Marshall warned that, without assistance, Europe would suffer intense economic distress, with social and political upheavals, more dictatorships, and eventually a third world war . . . Congress, he said, "should put up enough money to do the job thoroughly or not attempt it at all."
