I am frustrated by figure placement. I have a figure near the top
of an article that, if I write \begin{figure}[!h], it gets put in
the middle of a sentence, but if I write \begin{figure}[!t] it
naturally goes above the title.

Is it possible to force a figure to go where I want it?

"Forcing" of floats is generally a bad idea, if you want a figure or
table at a specific place, use the tabular or includegraphics commands
without wrapping them into a floating environment.

I do use the placeins package to place \FloatBarriers between sections,
this ensures that floats are placed near where they are referred to. The
rest I leave to LaTeX.

OK, here is the template I use for figures:

\begin{figure}[!pb]%
\begin{center}
\includegraphics*[width=0.8\textwidth]{figs/.eps}
\caption{}\label{Fig:}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

What do I have to do to not wrap them in a floating
environment?

I found out how to do it. Use the package float and position H, not h.

Simply leave out the figure environment (first and last line), and the
caption. The latter you'll have to replace by normal text.
