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.
