Hi Pam,

Yes, the definition is "heads off" as in 'to prevent' or 'to ward off'

4 letter "state" (as a verb) then 2 letter or 1, 1 from the "leaders" of "takes" and "socialist".

@chrise: But my husband just asked "what does ---- mean?"... and the penny dropped! Thanks for the nudge. All now done and, I think, parsed.
