The last decade has brought about a completely different picture of elliptical galaxies. The once considered completely inert systems have revealed the presence of fair amount of dust, cool and cold gas, and undergoing star formation. The current statistics is that 80% of elliptical galaxies have detectable cool gas components, and as many as 60% have ionized gas (Knapp et al. 1989, Goudfrooij et al. 1994). Several single-dish CO surveys have been reported in the literature, allowing the deduction of several general properties of the molecular gas in early-type galaxies (Sage & Wrobel 1989, Lees et al. 1991, Wiklind et al. 1995).
