They've done away with the adversarial relationships." Recently, Bernstein expressed his love for Joyce Davenport, the public defender played by Veronica Hamel. Davenport is married to Capt.

Frank Furillo (Daniel J. Travanti). "They've worked so closely for many years," Wyner said of his and Hamel's characters. "There's a lot of warmth and compatibility in their relationship. The writers took the next step and had Irwin have a crush on her." WYNER WAS born and raised in Boston and is a diehard Red Sox fan.

He grew up in the Ritz Carlton Hotel, which his father built in 1926. It was run by his family until its sale in 1964. The Ritz was popular with show business people, particularly those trying out plays in Boston. "The only time I ever worked in the hotel business was for two days in 1 955 when there was a blizzard and most of the employes couldn't get to work. "After two days of it I decided I had no talent for the hotel business.

So, like people who have no talent for anything else, I became an actor. My father was greatly relieved." After college at the University of Syracuse, Wyner headed for Hollywood. "I thought I would take advantage of some of my father's friends," he said. "I called on (producer-director) Garson Kanin, who had told me when I was 12 to look him up. He had an office at Universal and sent me over to the Tower (executive office building).

I started at the top floor and by 3:30 I was on the ground floor and they wouldn't validate my parking. "I came out here with a false sense of security. I thought I'd make a few phone calls and get my own series and then it was just a question of which house to buy." His first role was in a stage play called "The Trial of A. Lincoln." Its star, Henry Fonda, later cast Wyner in "The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial," which Fonda directed. After that came many guest shots in various TV series until "Kaz." SI.

If I ever get my own show my career's over." Although Wyner has appeared regularly on "Hill Street Blues" since its second season, he has never had a contract. He works in 12 to 15 shows a year. In April, he will co-star with Pricilla Barnes in "Suddenly Sheriff" a first-run syndication sitcom scheduled for fall 1987. He plays a deputy who had expected to take over the top job but loses out to Barnes. WYNER, TALL, slim and partially bald, is also working on Mel Brooks' "Spaceballs," a spoof on space movies.

He was also in Brooks' "To Be or Not to Be" and in Richard Benjamin's "My Favorite Year." His first series was "Kaz" in 1978. He played the district attorney. The next year he was in "Big Shamus, Little Shamus" as the hotel security chief. He was one of the great detective's aides on "Nero Wolfe" in 1981.

Both networks, therefore, are in a position to offer a more immediate possibility of anchoring than CBS, since Rather has five years remaining on his contract. Officials at both ABC News and NBC News say Sawyer has been offered no firm promise of an evening news anchor or co-anchor position. "Diane Sawyer is eligible to be an anchor anyplace," said David Burke, executive vice-president of ABC News. "But we have an anchor, Peter Jennings, and he's damned good." However, all three networks have been more forthcoming in other areas, discussing with Sawyer the possibility of being the top substitute anchor and of a prominent position on coverage of major events, such as elections, according to the sources.
