Writer DARCY FREY, a contributing editor to "Harper's" and "The New York Times Magazine." FREY spent a year at the Abraham Lincoln High School on Coney Island, where he says African-American boys usually turn either to dealing drugs or playing basketball. He followed four young basketball players trying to make it out of the ghetto and into a Division I school. "The Last Shot: City Streets, Basketball Dreams" (Houghton Mifflin Company) is his record of what happens to the dreams of these young men.
