Recent progress in the dynamical analysis of elliptical galaxy kinematics is reviewed. Results reported briefly include (i) the surprisingly uniform anisotropy structure of luminous ellipticals, (ii) their nearly flat (to $\sim 2R_e$) circular velocity curves, (iii) the Tully-Fisher and $M/L - L$ relations and the connection to the Fundamental Plane, and (iv) the large halo mass densities implied by the dynamical models.
