             Preston R. Tisch hereby amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D previously filed by him with respect to the Common Stock (the "Common Stock") of Loews Corporation (the "Issuer") as set forth herein. Except as amended and supplemented hereby, the statement on Schedule 13D, as heretofore amended and supplemented, remains in full force and effect.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

             As of February 25, 2002, Preston R. Tisch had sole voting power and sole investment power with respect to 29,543,184 shares of Common Stock, including 5,755,188 shares held by trusts of which Mr. Tisch is the trustee. An additional 440,000 shares were owned by Joan H. Tisch, Mr. Tisch's wife, and accordingly he may be deemed to share voting power and investment power with respect to such shares. As a result, Mr. Tisch may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 29,983,184 shares, or 15.7% of the 191,479,500 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer that were outstanding on February 25, 2002.

                A trust created in 2000 by Joan H. Tisch, Mr. Tisch's wife, terminated in January 2002, resulting in the transfer of 1,856,112 shares of Common Stock to the beneficiaries of the trust. There were no other transactions in the Common Stock of the Issuer by Mr. Tisch during the sixty days preceding the filing of this statement.

Signature

                After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.

February 26, 2002
