Thank you to everyone for your replies.

The short answer to the question of putting material in the margin notes 
area would seem to be "\marginpar."  Which seems obvious to me, now :-)

But that doesn't work for floats.  (LaTeX Error: Not in outer par mode.) 
  I'm currently printing the memoir manual . . .
