  A massive (~10^2-10^4 Msun) black hole at the center of a globular cluster
will tidally disrupt binaries that pass sufficiently close. Such an encounter
results in the capture of one binary component by the black hole and ejection
of the other star. A 10^3 Msun black hole disrupts one binary every 1-10 Myr;
captured stars orbit with initial periods of days to decades. Although >~100
stars are captured in only 1 Gyr, the number with periods of <10 yr at any one
time is probably less than 10, regulated by stellar interactions and tidal
disruption by the black hole. Binary disruption and stellar capture should be
critically examined with detailed numerical simulations, in order to
corroborate the analytic results given here and to weigh possible observational
consequences.
