Judging Frank Lorenzo's plan to start a short-haul, low-fare, no-frills airline based here is difficult without passing judgment on the man himself. Mr. Lorenzo is such a controversial -- a polite way of saying detested -- figure in the airline industry that his presence overshadows the particular issue involved. But that avoids the question whether his idea stands on its own merits. The two matters need to be considered separately.Mr. Lorenzo, who has headed major airlines that later plunged into bankruptcy, believes he has found a niche for an airline operating along the East Coast, providing low-cost but comfortable and efficient service between cities from Boston to Florida.

Lorenzo the Tramp was required morning viewing for children watching WJZ-TV in the 1960s, when an actor named Gerald Wheeler charmed local audiences by dancing across a set while his young studio audience went crazy. Dressed in ragged clothes and a brown slouch hat (the same hat lasted 17 years), Wheeler put on a putty nose and drew on sad eyebrows. As Lorenzo, he did not speak.
