He has done a good job. Citizen reaction to President Clinton's latest scan­ dal has been as varied as the legal loopholes his lawyers have used to deny it. These reactions are, however, only talk, and of minimal consequence unless acted upon. The best way to act upon them is to make an informed deci­ - - sion in this year's elections. Opinions of those who do not vote are rendered worthless because of - their inaction.
