yes, dody, 'graft and coruption' are code word of offering and recieving bribes, both are crimes.

not always the case with some actions, ie, during prohibition, selling alcohol was a crime, but buying it wasn't!--or was it the other way round?--no, i am sure its the first.. illegal to brew, transport or sell.. so when a 'speakeasy' was busted, only the owner (if he could be found) and the bartenders were 'criminal'--all the patrons got off scot free-- and went off to another speakeasy.

i don't know how long graft has =bribery in US, but it does.
