Thanks, Jeff...
At this point, I believe that what I need is some sort of spring.
When the wife pulled on the handle of the passenger side the other
night a piece of it (the spring) came sailing across the passenger
compartment into my lap.
The driver's side handle will still open the door, but the handle
itself doesn't "spring" back into its resting place after being
pulled... rather, it just kind of hangs out. I'm guessing a spring
here, too, right?

Odds are that you need a couple of springs. My guess is that the driver side
needs cleaning more than anything. In any case, none of the trouble you are
having is fatal. The repair parts should be on the shelf out on the floor.
You may find that the smaller parts stores might not carry as many HELP
parts as the larger outlets. I find that Pep Boys (a large retail chain on
the west coast) has the best assortment.
You'll need to open the doors and inspect the linkages to see what you need.
