  The temperature dependence of the normal state Hall effect and
magnetoresistance in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_7$ is investigated using the Nearly
Antiferromagnetic Fermi Liquid description of planar quasiparticles. We find
that highly anisotropic scattering at different regions of the Fermi surface
gives rise to the measured anomalous temperature dependence of the resistivity
and Hall coefficient while yielding the universal temperature dependence of the
Hall angle observed for both clean and dirty samples. This universality is
shown to arise from the limited momentum transfers available for the anomalous,
spin fluctuation scattering and is preserved for any system with strong
antiferromagnetic correlations.
