R help - Apr 2012 - Mixed italic and non-italic in text

Hi,

I need to italicize the journal in a citation but have thus far failed.  How
can I make 'Journal of Something' below italic but leave the rest?

mtext( "See Author1 and Author2 (2007) , \"Title\",  Journal of
Something ,
pp. 1-50.", side = 3, outer = T,  line=-0.75, cex = 0.7, at= 0.04, adj = 0,
font = 1, family = "Times")

?plotmath  # especially the italic function

mtext(expression("See Author1 and Author2 (2007)  
Title"~italic("Journal of Something")~" ,
pp. 1-50."), side = 3, outer = T,  line=-0.75, cex = 0.7, at= 0.04,  
adj = 0,
font = 1, family = "Times")

You didn't indicate your OS. The choice of screen or pdf fonts may be  
installation specific but this seemed to work as expected with output  
in a serif font and the output in the upper left corner on a Mac with  
the quartz() device.
