Brand will be paid through December

The Times, chasing the news that Michael Brand resigned as director of the Getty, got Brand on the phone but he didn't say very much. "I really don't want to get behind the reasons of my resignation," said Brand, who turns 52 on Saturday. He told the paper he would continue to be paid through the expiration of his contract in December.
