- Director of Dreyfus Fund starting 1965, Dreyfus CEO 1970-1996. - listed twice, on the Top 20 and under "Business additions." - Note on Top 20 list said he was "heaviest contributor to Eugene McCarthy in 1968." - considered a pioneer in socially-responsible investing (1972), no-load mutual funds (1974), and tax-free municipal funds (1976). - Julliard-trained violinist. - Keeps a low profile and has a common name, so don't get him mixed up with other Howard Steins--and he is certainly not Howard Stern. - was against Vietnam War, in part because of the negative effect on the economy and stock market. - took leave of absence from Dreyfus to serve as McCarthy's national finance chairman. - Installed a stock ticker in his room at the Sheraton Wayfarer during the New Hampshire primary campaign "while cranking out literature for the insurgent peace candidate." (from A Nation Divided: The 1968 Presidential Campaign by Darcy G. Robinson). | |
