[TxMt] Date snippet for Latex

I'd like to automate the date entries for a journal I write in "LaTeX" 
and have come up with this snippet:

\subsection{${1:`date +%A`, `date +%d` `date +%B` `date +%Y`}}

which gives me the date as follows in my files (example):

\subsection{Wednesday, 10 October 2007}

It works--that is, it gives me the spaces I want between the elements of 
the date, but it looks cumbersome to me to invoke the date command 
repeatedly to get these spaces and I wonder if someone could supply a 
more elegant way to get the same result.
Thanks.
