The food is a well-presented delight, including fresh river fish, robust game and tender Zambian beef. And the library and bar are open-sided, fan-cooled temples to the gin and tonic, the cocktail that built an empire. Which is why, come midmorning, a languid groan goes up from guests lingering over coffee on the veranda as they realize they really should amble down to see the Falls...

In the search for a test offering this kind of diagnostic certainty in mental illness, two Australian researchers believe they've made a leap. Gin Malhi and Jim Lagopoulos, from the department of psychological medicine at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital, report detecting what appear to be abnormalities in the workings of the brain of people with bipolar disorder - a finding, they say, that could eventually allow doctors to subdue the condition before...
