De Courcy's story is that Russia made a preliminary H-bomb test in 1950 and that Stalin then gave Pontecorvo an assignment to finish, this bomb în 1952.

This phrase has the sume root as the word "lock" meaning a lock of hair and the old English “louk” to pull up weeds. The Scandi navlan ""lugga”

means

to pull by the hair, which was the original meaning of the present "lug," to haul or drag along. To be "at log- gerheads" with some- one is therefore to be BO angry with him as start pulling his hair, but the phrase has changed slightly to odds mean simply at with him.
