Item 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure

The Registrant's subsidiary, Lorillard, Inc. ("Lorillard"), confirms and
reiterates the statements made by Lorillard's management during the
Registrant's second quarter earnings conference call held on August 8, 2002 to
the effect that Lorillard intends to modestly increase its promotion dollar
support behind its Newport cigarette brand for the second half of 2002, that
this decision is not predicated on any particular competitive action, and that
the decision is based on Lorillard's assessment of the market opportunity for
Newport to continue to build market share. The foregoing represents
Lorillard's current plans and intentions but is subject to change.

The Registrant expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release
publicly any updates or revisions to the foregoing statements or any forward-
looking statement to reflect any change in the Registrant's intentions or
expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or
circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Statements herein that contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 include, but are not
limited to, statements using the words "believes," "expects," "plans,"
"intends" and similar expressions. Such statements are inherently subject to a
variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected. A discussion of the risk factors that could
impact these areas and the Registrant's overall business and financial
performance can be found in the Registrant's reports filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Given these concerns, investors and analysts should
not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.


                                 SIGNATURES

  Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.


                                                   LOEWS CORPORATION
