[R] Inserting superscripts in free-format text line

I would like to insert a superscript in a body of text (e.g., a title or  
axis label), where the superscript is not necessarily at the end of the  
text.  For example, suppose a title read, "This is a Test^1 of the  
Emergency Broadcast System" where there is a superscript 1 after the word  
Test.

As a starting point for what I'm trying to do, the following shows a  
superscript:
x=10
plot(x)
text(x=1, y=12, expression("test"^1)

But, the following does not show a superscript:
x=10
plot(x)
text(x=1, y=11, paste("This is a", expression("test"^1), "of the Emergency  
Broadcast System.")

Thanks in advance to all those who reply.

Best,
