Usage of 'at any rate' and 'in any event'
Hi,
Must we always use this phrase at the end of the sentence? If it can be used in the middle, do we need a comma? Can someone give examples on how it can be used in a sentence?
Example: I can't at any rate lie to him. (or: I can't lie to him at any rate)
I am assuming the same goes for 'in any case' and 'in any event' as well?

It can be set within a sentence if set off by commas, but it is awkward there.
