Bill D and others mentioned Macdonald's use/overuse of the
word moral in Black Money. That made me very aware of its
many appearanes when I read the book, so much so that I
initially mis-read this line as:
"It was a moral hardship for me to walk away from an unclosed
case. I went back to my apartment in west Los Angeles and
drank myself into a moral stupor."
On second glance, I realized that that last "moral" was
actually
"moderate."
