There is no better realization anywhere of a small town's sense of community than in the way Benton groups its citizens, first at a wake, then at a dance. At another moment, a pair of guilty lovers (Ed Harris and Amy Madigan), emblematic...
...that stretch, Quaker quarterback John McGeehan tossed two touchdown passes. Rich Comizio scampered 37 yards for a score and Tom Murphy added field goals of 31 and 36 yards...
