Check out

@Article{Bruggemann-Klein:TB8-2-193,
  author =      "Anne Br{\"{u}}ggemann-Klein",
  title =       "{{First line special handling with \TeX}}",
  journal =     TUGboat,
  year =        "1987",
  volume =      "8",
  number =      "2",
  pages =       "193",
  month =       Jul,
}

It's a fascinating article, there you can see where the limits of TeX
_really_ are. As far as I know, the macros are not available on line.
Anne has stopped working in the TeX arena, so it will also not be of
much use asking her.
