Nesoff has always been in the middle of the action, covering the riots in 1998 in Englewood and Newark. In Croatia after the shooting supposedly had stopped, he was in the ancient city of Dubrovnik near a team of soldiers in a field above the city. It turned out he was watching them clear as mine field and he was in the range should one have gone off. But he was able to get a great first-hand story and photos.
