History of the Doctor Who Universe

 * 1963 - President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by James Stevens, a journalist who has travelled from the future - specifically 1995 - using a time ring. Stevens was the long-rumoured "man on the grassy knoll," who has murdered the President to thwart the Master's plan to sabotage Earth's history and create a timeline in which UNIT and very possibly the Third Doctor never existed. (MA: Who Killed Kennedy)


 * The Doctor was in the crowd watching President Kennedy's motorcade drive by just before he was assassinated. A photograph that shows the Doctor among the spectators later finds its way into Clive Finch's collection of files about the Doctor. (DW: Rose)
