Paris could scarcely have been more than a tribal village when Phoenician sailors established Massilia on the southern coast of France during the 6th century B.C. So strong were the Massilians and the fortifications they built that not until Caesar laid extended siege to Massilia in 49 B.C. did the city's streets clink to the armor of invaders. Subsequently Romanized, then later buried for centuries beneath the foundations of what became the port of Marseille, the fortifications were unearthed this summer when contractors began excavations for three high-rise commercial buildings, a cultural center...
...idea is simply to pressure banks into refusing to accept uncoded checks as too slow and costly to collect.

But Macbeth is too strong to go down, and several soldiers rush in to pile stabbing upon stabbing (an homage to Julius Caesar?). Despite all this mauling, Macbeth is able to stand up one more time before pitching towards the audience down a flight of stairs to his death. I fear this finale betrays Houseman's many years of Hollywood movie-making...
