                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.

                Preston R. Tisch has sole voting power and sole investment power with respect to 26,532,808 shares of Common Stock, including 2,244,812 shares held by the Joan H. Tisch 2000 Annuity Trust I, of which Mr. Tisch is the trustee. An additional 5,755,188 shares are owned by Joan H. Tisch, his 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 32,287,996 shares, or 16.4% of the 197,238,100 shares of Common Stock that the Issuer reported as outstanding as of March 12, 2001 (after giving effect to the two-for-one stock split effective on March 20, 2001).

                During the sixty days preceding the filing of this statement, Mr. Tisch effected the following transactions in the Common Stock of the Issuer. Mr. Tisch effected sales of shares over which he has sole dispositive power on the New York Stock Exchange as follows:

Date Number of Shares Price per Share
     
3/5/01 42,500 $110.88
     
3/6/01 72,500 $111.37
     
3/7/01 120,000 $112.29
     
3/8/01 100,000 $112.97
     

                The sales referred to in the above table were effected before the stock split referred to above and therefore do not reflect the stock split.
