The authors use a sample of 384 million B{bar B} events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e{sup +}e{sup -} collider to study angular distributions in the rare decays B {yields} K*{ell}{sup +}{ell}{sup -}, where {ell}{sup +}{ell}{sup -} is either e{sup +}e{sup -} or {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -}. For low dilepton invariant masses, m{sub {ell}{ell}} < 2.5 GeV/c{sup 2}, they measure a lepton forward-backward asymmetry {Alpha}{sub FB} = 0.24{sub -0.23}{sup +0.18} {+-} 0.05 and K* longitudinal polarization F{sub L} = 0.35 {+-} 0.16 {+-} 0.04. For m{sub {ell}{ell}} > 3.2 GeV/c{sup 2}, they measure {Alpha}{sub FB} = 0.76{sub -0.32}{sup +0.52} {+-} 0.07 and F{sub L} = 0.71{sub -0.22}{sup 0.20} {+-} 0.04.
