Anywhere else in the world, the election of Nawaz Sharif for another try as Prime Minister would be a sign of trouble. But since we're talking about Pakistan, the world's most combustible nation, Mr. Sharif's return to power in weekend elections looks better than the alternatives.

Budget Needs Let Fireworks Fly Lawfully
By ANDREW MARTIN
As elected officials try to cash in on fireworks sales in cities and counties where they have long been banned, consumers will find it easier to buy fireworks.
Five years later, after all the debris was removed and walls erected, the main building was refitted to house artists’ studios. A quarter-century (and several extensive renovations) later, the artists are still there: over 160 of them sharing 82 studios, six galleries and two workshops. The Art League School and the Alexandria Archaeology Museum also share the space, bringing in thousands more aspirants and students. All of this makes the Torpedo Factory, as it is now called, a low-key, family-friendly and craft-centred alternative to the many worthy galleries across the river.
