New Hammer Museum Director Named: Occidental Petroleum Corp. has appointed former J. Paul Getty Museum director Stephen Garrett to head the Armand Hammer Museum of Art and Cultural Center. Garrett, an architect, would oversee completion of the museum, which is under construction in Westwood and is scheduled to open in November.
