NBC's Pete Williams and ABC's Jan Crawford Greenburg had different ways of describing how Sonia Sotomayor succeeded in avoiding trouble during her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. "The questions were more intense but her answers remained elusive," was the way ABC's Crawford Greenburg put it. "She kept her responses safe." On NBC, Williams judged that "nothing has arisen so far to derail this nomination." He heard the would-be Justice grow "more relaxed and confident, free with gestures and flashes of humor." To that end Williams shared her repartee with comedian-turned-Solon Al Franken over the plot twists of Perry Mason that she watched in black-and-white as a nine-year-old girl. ABC's Crawford Greenburg was all business: "She has followed a time-honored strategy that we have seen from nominees going back 20 years of just not saying too much." CBS decided that Sotomayor had said so little that Wyatt Andrews was not even asked to file on the day's proceedings.
