This issue of *Regulation* arrives a few weeks later than usual, and for that I apologize. But I have a good excuse: Dominick Joseph Firey entered the world on Jan. 4, 2016, upsetting his father’s publication schedule. The future John Bates Clark Medal and Conn Smythe Trophy winner is doing fine, as is his mother. The publication schedule should return to normal with the summer issue.

This joyful arrival is accompanied by a sad exit: Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a former chief editor of *Regulation*, passed away over the night of Feb. 12–13, 2016, at age 79. He was a frequent contributor in the magazine’s early years, when it was published by the American Enterprise Institute. We offer a summary of some of his essays at: cato​.org/​b​l​o​g​/​s​c​a​l​i​a​-​p​a​g​e​s​-​r​e​g​u​l​ation.

He is one of several important contributors to *Regulation*’s early years who have passed away in the last decade, including Anne Brunsdale in 2006, Robert Bork in 2012, and Murray Weidenbaum in 2014. Their influence on *Regulation* and U.S. regulatory policy cannot be overstated.
