We study the factorization of gravitational Born amplitudes and the Reggeization of the graviton. Factorization holds at J = 2, and the Mandelstam counting argument shows that the graviton must Reggeize, at least to low orders in perturbation theory. The Mandelstam argument also explains the one-loop renormalizability properties of pure gravitation and matter--gravity systems and is used to discuss the higher-loop renormalizability of pure gravitation.
