It's just a business." The words of John Wilder, an embittered man. A writer and producer who thought being good was good enough, and was proven wrong. Wilder is the man who made the television version of James Michener's saga of the American West, "Centennial." If you know the book, you know that NBC's "Centennial" is a rare thing indeed, a film adaptation that is true to the spirit of the book. When NBC asked him to produce a 26-hour "Centennial," Wilder told the network: "I'll do this as long as you understand that I only mean to please one man James Michener. If you can't live with that, get someone else." Michener, the closest thing to an idol Wilder has, was Then NBC told Wilder it wanted a rush job on the last five hours.

Instead of airing the final episode Sunday, Feb. 11, the network wanted it for this weekend, a back-to-back, Saturday-Sunday airing. John McMahon, vice president of programming at NBC, we wanted to help the show, give it the best exposure we could." As to the rush job ordered on the last five hours, McMahon says, "If we'd kept it the way it was, he'd have been up against 'Gone with the Wind' and the 'Elvis' movie (ABC)." But McMahon does admit NBC goofed when it played musical time-slots with "Centennial" in the early going. It's hard to doubt McMahon when he says, "When we did the things we did, we thought it was In the best interest of the show." Considering the battering NBC took in the fall season, it could have used "Centennial's" help. The botching of "Centennial" pains Wilder, I'm sure; but it stings NBC where it really hurts, in the ratings.

needed it for the fall, they felt they had to have something of substance for the fall season." So, it was agreed that "Centennial" would be presented in blocks; it would air two or three consecutive Sunday nights, then a production gap, then return for two or three more Sundays, and so on. "Centennial" was cheered in its debut Its first three episodes rated well, and the network hoped the show could carry the clout of NBC's "Holocaust" miniseries the season before. Then the thing started to fall apart. Somebody in NBC programming noticed that another network was airing the popular movie "The Sting" on the Sunday night "Centennial" was to make its first return. The show was moved to Saturday at the last minute, without much promotion notice of the change.

"Centennial" fans were confused. The ratings dropped. The next episode was also aired on a Saturday. But the next appeared on Sunday. By then, you needed a map to find "Centennial." It was easier just to not look for it.

Willie Nelson's life is pickin' and singing, smokln' and drinking. For him, it is comfortable and uncomplicated.

The way he lives, whether in a low-ceilinged country saloon outside Austin, or a flossy show room in a Nevada gaming center, there's hardly time for anything else. It takes the cue from one of his inspired songs: "Funny How Time Slips Away." Willie's not complaining. He lights up, draws in deeply, puffs out slowly and blissfully. This is how he wants it: "One Day at a Time." That aroma is not Turkish blend from a cellophane wrapped pack. "Want some marijuana?" asks Willie, almost naively, preferring a narrow, hand-rolled joint No, thanks.

But others do. We're in a hideaway room between shows at Harran's, and outside they're already jamming for the midnight happening. The arm pits of his grey, decaled T-shirt are dark wet from the exertions of his first show. Willie, frankly, looks kind of scruffy. His reddish-brown hair, parted severely in the middle, Gay 90s style, descends to a pony tail in the back.

They get nothing fancy or slick, just Willie's word on how the world really is, musically speaking. It has been called redneck rock or progressive country music, but Willie, who came out of the cotton fields of central Texas, has no pretensive explanation for what he does.

It makes him belch. "I get off on belching," he grins. "I like to put my ideas into songs," he turns serious. "My songs are my philosophy. They tell the way I think and the way I believe.

Feb. 9, 4:30 8 p.m. rtmtitnournrMim in inat unw, By Abigail Van Buren 1 978 by Chkogo Nm Synd. tie. DEAR ABBY: What would you do if you had a friend who wears a hairpiece that makes him look ridiculous? The man I have in mind has a terrific personality and is happily married to a beautiful, intelligent woman.

He must care about his appearance or he wouldn't have bought a hairpiece in the first place. He can well afford the best, but instead he wears one that looks cheap, is too dark, too full, and doesn't fit. He looks laughable, but I like him so much that it bothers me. Abby, what would you do if he were your friend? ANONYMOUS, PLEASE DEAR ANONYMOUS: I would assume that since he is married to an intelligent woman, if he looked ridiculous to HER, she would surely tell him. I'd curb my compulsion to him, and would keep my well-meaning nose oat of his ill-fitting hairpiece.

DEAR ABBY: Our 14-year-old daughter (I'll call her Meg) has been corresponding with an English pen pal for nearly a year. Derrick is 16. She found his name and address In a magazine. Well, it seems that Meg told Derrick a lot of things in her letters that were not true. For example, that we were very wealthy, lived on a ranch and kept horses, etc.

Actually, we are far from rich and live in a three-bedroom home in a project in New Jersey. (By "we" I mean my husband and Meg and her two brothers, an older sister and Grandma.) Derrick TELEPHONED Meg to tell her that he was coming to visit us! She broke down and told us, and of course we have no room for this English fellow. I am a nervous wreck and could cheerfully wring Meg's neck, but that won't solve anything. How can we head off Derrick? MEG'S MOTHER DEAR MOTHER: Either telephone or cable Derrick and advise him to postpone his visit. Then have Meg write him a long, true-confessions type letter to set the record straight.

And tell Meg that fantasies are lovely, but they're like dream castles -fun to build, but you can't live in them. Astrograph Willie does demur at coke, which is currently fashionable. "I don't like cocaine. 1 wisht I did. It would make me go fast.

Cocaine freezes my vocal chords, and I can't control my singing. Also I've got sinuses. I used to swim in them old cattle ponds around Texas when I was growln' up. I got a real bad sinus problem, so I just cain't do cocaine." Those clogged sinuses give him a unique haunting, reedy singing timber. "I owe it all to the old water hole," chuckles Willie.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept 22) You may be better off temporarily shelving distasteful tasks today rather than to attempt to do them halfheartedly. Poor work -will have to be repeated. LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct. 23) Bad feelings will result if you expect too much from another in a -joint venture, or if he expects too much from you.

Each must compromise. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Small domestic issues can be blown completely out of proportion today. Keep this in mind so you don't start finding fault with your mate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Lead by example today rather than by trying to be dictatorial. Positive action on your part is more effective than harsh commands. CAPRICORN (Dec.

22-Jan. 10) Your impulsive urges could be a bit overwhelming today. You might do something rather foolish financially. Sleep on it before spending large sums. (NntipaBcrEatcrariMAiia.) "But I'm not trying to force anybody to believe the way I believe." Or to do the way he does.

Willie's mores are a little different. "Tonight," he shrugs, "someone handed me a joint on stage while I was singing. The audience is all smokin'. It's not that big a deal anymore. I do drink on stage, and I do get stoned.

I go on stage stoned a lot. "People make a big deal out of smokin' marijuana, but it ain't no big deal. And I refuse to let it be a big deal." ARIES (March Zl-Aprll 10) Manage your resources with extreme prudence today. Neither spend unwisely nor make risky loans. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Today you may be tempted to strive for something beyond your talents and capabilities, and It could cause severe frustrations.

Set realistic objectives. GEMINI (May Zl-June 20) Do nothing today that you know from personal experience could cause problems. If you ignore your better judgment, you'll regret It. CANCER (June 21-July 22) A domineering associate could try to involve you in something today you may not wish to be part of. Unless you stand up for your rights, he'll succeed.

LEO (July 13-Aug. 8) Don't make the mistake today of underestimating your competition. Give them credit for being at least as strong as you are -or perhaps a bit stronger. 2 lltO THEATRE 8:50 Ll'sVT VII J- Febraary 1, 1171 Your leadership qualities will be greatly enhanced this coming year.
