The brief tenure of White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia offers a timely reminder that we should be careful about confusing a difficult beginning with a definitive verdict. Our human nature provides a remarkable ability to turn a brief stumble into a defining moment.

Her greatest legacy may be found in the people who were inspired to become kinder, more generous and more authentic because she showed them how. During her life, Dolly became one of the most recognizable people in the world.
