Learning the Racks. Federated's West Coast subsidiary, Bullock's-Magnin Co., has expanded considerably under its president, William Keeshan, 48. The debonair brother of Actor Bob Keeshan, who plays TV's Captain Kangaroo, Bill Keeshan spent 17 years learning the racks at Bullock's, a Southern California department-store chain; in 1963 he became head of Magnin's, a Bullock's subsidiary.
