Jolliet
French-Canadian explorer. Born near Quebec, he led an expedition in the Great Lakes region in 1669. He was appointed to explore the Mississippi River with J. Marquette and five others. In 1673 they set out in birchbark canoes across Lake Michigan, following the Fox and Wisconsin rivers to the Mississippi, then down the Mississippi to its confluence with the Arkansas, concluding that the river flowed south to the Gulf of Mexico and not, as hoped, into the Pacific Ocean. After their return, Jolliet explored areas of Hudson Bay and the Labrador coast.
Mollet
French politician. An English teacher in Arras, he joined the Socialist Party in 1921 and became head of the Socialist teachers' union in 1939. After serving in World War II, he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies and became secretary-general of the Socialist Party (1946-69). With P. Mendè s-France, he led the Republican Front to victory and became premier (1956-57). Failures in dealing with the Algerian rebellion and the Suez Crisis led to the government's defeat, but Mollet continued to serve as a deputy and as mayor of Arras.
