...museums of the metropolitan area boast over 3,500,000 visitors a year -more than the combined yearly attendance at Yankee Stadium and the Polo Grounds. Many thousands more visit Manhattan's 150 art galleries, where Superman, if so inclined, might see 1,500 exhibitions in a single season. The city's galleries and art auction houses did a total business last year as great as that of any other capital. And, say gallery men, business will be even bigger this year...

While in the U.S., he picked up nine honorary degrees, was a White House guest of President Eisenhower, highlighted his visit with a foray into Georgia, the homeland of his ancestors. In Atlanta, he was welcomed by the city's white mayor but failed to meet the man who had invited him to the state, Governor Herman Talmadge, a white supremacist, who found it expedient to be elsewhere dedicating a hospital...
