Much thanks to cmbg.
A senior colleague showed me how to do what I was looking for. In the hopes
it will help someone else, here's what appears in my controller:
/*
============================================================================
==============
CALLBACKS
*/
function beforeFilter()
{
$exceptions = array('admin_index', 'admin_view',
'admin_add', 'admin_edit', 'admin_delete');
parent::beforeFilter();
if(!in_array($this->action, $exceptions))
$this->checkSession();
}
===========================================================================
Thanks,
A.K.

Subject: Re: Escaping the beforeFilter
You can check which action is being called in beforeFilter using $this-
>action. Then you can determine what's accessible or not by checking
the login...
The other alternative is to do your checking in each individual action
rather then in the catchall beforeFilter.
