<snip> the draft provisions of the Third Restatement of Torts concerning intentional torts to the person are contemplating inclusion of a separate wrong dubbed "Purposeful Infliction of Bodily Harm."  The provision is precisely meant to capture cases of purposeful physical harms not caused by physical contact.
