Well, I solved the issue on my end. I can access the iBooks Store, PayPal.com, and Twitter.com.
I don't know exactly what did it, but I opened Keychain Access and selected the "Certificates" on the left-hand bottom pane.
From the top pane I selected the "login" keychain. I "Got Info" on all the certificates. Those that had "Always Trust" as the setting instead of "Use System Defaults" I RESET to "Use System Defaults." I had about four that were set to "Always Trust."
I then selected "System Roots" from the top left panel and repeated the same process - Get Info, change to "Use System Defaults" if something else was selected.
Safari didn't even require a restart. iBooks also worked instantly.
I don't know what certificate was "damaged" or had the wrong settings; there were only about six or seven and many of them were for services that are entirely unrelated. But it works now.
