Speaking of whom, I suppose if Dr Kyle became the President's personal physician, he must have died too during the assassination?)

Wasn't the guy who was hiding on B5 in S2 the president's physician? I have a vague recollection that it was mentioned that Kyle was the head of the xenobiology whatever, and Franklin replaced him (or joined him?) when he left B5 at the end of S5.

I'm afraid I can't remember. It's so long since I saw all of this. I haven't watched these episodes since they were first aired.

All those little details escape me, though some of the things I do remember are not what might be expected. I've forgotten all the details of the Telepath War, for instance, but still remember vividly Sheridan telling Delenn about how he loved the sound of rain and how his father sprayed the roof with a hose so he would hear the sound he loved while he was studying for exams.

That was Clark's physician in Hunter, Prey, tho I don't remember his name. I love the letter he left for his wife Mary. I always wonder what happened to her once his report came out, showing Clark wasn't really ill when he jumped EarthForce One before the explosion.
