22 November

On 22 November 1963, American President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, at the hands of James Stevens, a journalist who'd come from April 1996.

Stevens travelled by means of a time ring and was the long-rumoured 'man on the grassy knoll', who murdered the President to thwart 's plan to sabotage Earth's history and create a timeline in which UNIT and very possibly the Third Doctor never existed. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)

The Ninth Doctor was in the crowd watching President Kennedy's motorcade drive by just before he was assassinated. A photograph that showed the Doctor among the spectators later found its way into Clive Finch's collection of files about the Doctor.
