Keywords help, dimensions don't.
Taco asked for a minimal example. I don't want to make it too
minimal however since there may be some unsuspected interaction
between all my code and the way it is supposed to work. With
that caveat here is my example. If one comments out \parskip and
uncomments \setupwhitespace then the spacing above the word
"August" is greater. Reverse these steps and it is smaller.

Thanks to you and to Taco both for looking into this.
Some of my InDesign-using friends say that the reason they don't
switch to Open Source like TeX or Scribus is because of support
issues. They don't understand why I laugh so hard :)
