Thanks to all who wrote with ideas (knotnook, doyle, leung, et al.); it 
turned out that the caliper piston was sticking.  I removed the caliper, and 
yes, the e-brake cable was dragging, but it seems to be due to the fact that 
the piston won't retract (I tried to press the piston in, but it wouldn't 
budge).  I'll pick up a new caliper tomorrow and install it ($138, S&G 
Imports) to verify the assessment.  If there are any tips on caliper 
installation, don't hesistate to write, as this is my first attempt, and I 
don't even have a Bentley Manual!  Thanks again, guys!
