They are not in the object, but in the result of summary applied to the
object. So:

 [1] "call"          "terms"         "residuals"     "coefficients" 
 [5] "sigma"         "df"            "r.squared"     "adj.r.squared"
 [9] "fstatistic"    "cov.unscaled"

In general, summary.foo computes summaries, and print.summary.foo prints
it. Sometimes there is more in the summary object than printed (e.g.
intermediate results like the unscaled covariance matrix in summary.lm).

In this case ?summary.lm will help, but R is not very complete at
documenting summary methods.
