A few issues here:
S.A. - this is hard, to allow this while filtering out sentences
R.J. O'Brien, etc. - Loosening up the rules for the second name can allow these
1517-18 - allow page ranges

The name issues are getting to be too much for me. Attached is a PLY
version that just pulls out the citation without the name; at one
point you indicated that would work for you.
