Riegle, Jr.; former U.S. Representative Barney Frank, California gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides, columnist William F. Buckley, Jr., actor Warren Beatty, former White House Counsel Gregory Craig, former New York City Public Advocate Mark Green, and musician-songwriters Peter Yarrow and Harry Chapin.
Lowenstein was born in Newark, New Jersey. He was a graduate of Horace Mann School in New York City and of the University of North Carolina. As an undergraduate, he was president of the National Student Association and the Dialectic Society. Lowenstein received a J.D. from Yale Law School in 1954.
