 How do I tell R that in this case I don't want 'function' to be   
 treated as a reserved word but as a string in italics?

 Just put it in quotes.  In fact, I think italic(attraction) looks  
 better than italic(attraction), so you may want to do this more  
 generally.

 For example,

 plot(1, main=expression(paste(italic(attraction function: ),  
 slope)))
