Caption: Bearded Bob Versus the Whiskered Captain -- that mellifluous voice behind the CBS Radio Network mike belongs to the same Bob Keeshan, who has for 25 years delighted television viewers as the mop-headed, whiskered Captain Kangaroo, but the face is changed. Bob sported a new but full-grown beard as he began his first radio assignment recently -- talking about the younger generations on his Monday-through-Friday series, THE SUBJECT IS YOUNG PEOPLE, heard locally at (station) at )time). A new look for a new career? Maybe, but Keeshan plans to take a razor to that hair when the taping of "Captain Kangaroo" begins this summer -- unless he can be convinced otherwise.
