Retired Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz relaxes at his home here by pitching horseshoes, which he does daily for exercise and relaxation. Nimitz, who led American naval forces to victory over the Japanese in World War II, said during press conference at his home that he believed "the next 10 years will be free of a world war," although " there might be fringe disturbances." The Admiral discussed the Japanese surrender, which took place nine years ago on 9/2.
