It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of Times said March 21 that the neighborhood is no longer ``party central'' and has become ``a sleepy suburb.''

Stern visits German musical landmarks Violinist Isaac Stern arrived in Germany on Monday for the first time since he was there as a U.S. soldier a half-century ago. The 78-year-old virtuoso will not be performing - he left his violin at home in New York - but will give master classes to young musicians in Cologne. ``I have a responsibility to pass on to the next generation what I learned from my teachers,'' he said. ``It keeps me young and reminds me where I came from. Teaching young artists is like giving water to a flower.'' Stern said he and his wife will visit the German cities where Beethoven, Bach and Mendelssohn lived and worked. He called Germany a ``country of music'' and said it is time to return to hear and see for himself what young German musicians are drawing from their heritage. Stern was born in Russia but moved to the United States with his parents when he was a baby and is an American citizen. Mandela's ex-wife sues to gain house The small house where President Nelson Mandela and his wife lived in the early '60s is at the center of a court battle. Winnie Madikizela-Mandela is taking her former husband and the Soweto Heritage Trust to court over ownership of the Soweto, South Africa, house. Seven years after he was freed from prison in 1990, Mandela purchased the house and gave it to the trust, said Ismail Ayob, Mandela's lawyer. But Madikizela-Mandela, who was divorced from Mandela in 1996, has said the house is hers.
