O.K., HERE WE GO," whispers Andrew Heyward as the moment of truth arrives promptly at 6:30, with Dan Rather beginning his delivery of "The CBS Evening News." Mr. Heyward is in the program's main control room at CBS's broadcast center on West 57th Street in Manhattan, just a few feet from the command post where the executive producer, Jeffrey Fager, is cuing Mr. Rather. Mr. Heyward, who sat in Mr. Fager's chair until three months ago, when he was named president of CBS News, is the only person in this frantic cockpit with nothing much to do. These days, he usually watches the program back in his office with other executives. But at the moment he seems very much at home in this room of a hundred flashing screens. His eyes -- the eyes of a longtime television producer -- dart from screen to screen, checking the camera angles, checking the next story, checking to see what NBC is opening with on this night in mid-April.

When the hot-hitting Minnesota Twins came to town on the same day that the Yankees decided to shelve their top pitcher, David Cone, until his health problems can be figured out, it was hard to imagine that things could get any more bleak in the Bronx. For a while, though, it seemed they might. Kenny Rogers -- whose presence will take on new meaning if the ever-dependable Cone proves fragile or, worse, unavailable -- floundered early in the rain-delayed game against the Twins last night. He shut out the Twins for five and one-third innings last Sunday, but they had since scored 35 runs in two games against Detroit.

Copley Pharmaceutical Inc., beset by legal woes, said yesterday that its losses were widening as the company, a drug maker, cuts prices to maintain the market share of its two best-selling products.

In the first quarter of 1995, the company earned $2.92 million, or 15 cents a share.
