...thing Bellows liked better than high style and muscular editorial content was a fight. He would poke any eye to start one. In 1965 I wrote a story for New York having some sport with William Shawn, editor of the New Yorker. The moment our issue came off the press, Bellows sent a copy to Shawn. The detonator was a little inscription on the calling card that accompanied it: "With my compliments, James G. Bellows...
...truth is that while the halo of “pure cane sugar” may help Americans sleep at night, it’s not going to do anything for our waistlines.Two months before the retro drink unveiling—before Pepsi had even issued an official press release—blogs and online news sites had already covered every imaginable detail of the “story.” BevReview.com, a website devoted exclusively to relaying news about the beverage industry, was, unsurprisingly, the leading source of information of the unfolding soda saga.

Banners were hung in his honor in many parts of the capital.
