A NEW THRILL RIDE DEBUTS AT CONEY ISLAND: A nickel gets you on Coney
Island's Switchback Railway, a new amusement park ride carrying
passengers on an undulating railroad track at up to 6 mph, running a
length of 600 feet and an overall drop of 43 feet. America's first
roller coaster will be a hit, spawning ever-bigger thrills.

     Title: Coney Island Fudge
Categories: Candies, Chocolate, Nuts
     Yield: 10 Servings

     1 c  Light cream
     4 oz Semisweet chocolate; chopped
     2 c  Sugar
   1/2 ts Salt
     2 tb Unsalted butter
     1 ts Vanilla
   1/2 lb Walnuts or pecans; chopped

 Combine the cream, chocolate and sugar in a heavy saucepan
 over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the
 chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Add the salt
 and let the mixture come to a boil. Turn down the heat to
 very low and cook without stirring until the mixture
 reaches the soft- ball stage.

 Remove the pan from the heat. Add the butter and vanilla,
 but do not stir. Let the mixture cool until lukewarm. Then
 beat the fudge with a wooden spoon until creamy. Add the
 nuts and mix well. Transfer the fudge to a buttered 8"
 square baking pan. Cover and chill.

 When firm, cut into squares.
