August 3rd:

1460 - King James II of Scotland (b. 1430)

1966 - Lenny Bruce, American comedian (b. 1925)

So let's recap. It seems to be a bad day for the Jews. Exiled from Spain, Hitler comes to power, and Lenny Bruce Dies. However, the NBA was founded and President Bartlett and I were born, so the date is not a total loss.
