...exactly, do you trade up an entire company? First, you stop the downward spiral. When Fiske took over Bath & Body Works in February 2003, same-store sales were skidding, having dropped 3% in 2002 and 11% the year before. Former CEO Beth Pritchard built the chain from nothing to 1,600 stores and $1.8 billion in revenue in just 10 years, but consumers were growing tired of folksy fare like Juniper Breeze shampoo gift baskets and were starting to find palatable alternatives in drugstores and discount chains, which had begun an upscale lurch of their own.

The Labor faithful began milling outside a function room at Mount Pritchard Community Club, in Sydney's outer west, shortly before 7 p.m. By the time some 200 of them are allowed inside, the writing's on the wall. It's like a rugby match where fans show up thinking their team is a chance, only to see them concede three tries in the first five minutes. Within minutes of polls closing on the mainland, it's clear Labor, which needs an extra 13 seats, has lost two - Bass and Braddon - in Tasmania...
