Elephant totems are supposed to keep bad luck out, and good luck in. So the trunks of the elephants faced into Parcells' office. "The few times we were allowed in...

Blond ambition: Parcells chasing NFL immortality 06/08/2003 BY JULIET MACUR / The Dallas Morning News Beyond the entryway shrubbery shaped like a Cowboys star, through the lobby that's a shrine to Cowboys legend, past the portraits of square-jawed Cowboys greats on the walls of snaking corridors, there's the office that belongs to the main man. Leather couches. Wooden shelves. A big, wide desk in front of a cushy executive chair. In the chair, Bill Parcells. He is leaning back and telling a story. In his goodfella-gravelly voice, he's explaining how much he likes being Papa. He points to a photograph...
