SUNDAY SPLASH: I'd be remiss if I didn't also link to the other stories I have in Sunday's Boston Herald.

This front-page story, headlined Dirty Dancing, began as a feature about teens taking advantage of one of the few entertainment options available to them this summer -- The Palace in Saugus turns its massive dance club over to the under-21 set on Sunday nights -- and turned into something else altogether, all because of what I saw there and reported back to my editors. Your initial reaction will fall into one of two categories: 1) Where were girls like this when you were 15? or 2) If you have a 15-year-old daughter, you're never letting her leave the house without a chaperone.

The other non-Live 8 story was a team consumer report on Boston-area taxicabs. Read the report here: Hail the mighty cabs: Visitors to Hub: Get in and hang on
