  We report on a calculation of large scale anisotropy in the cosmic microwave
background radiation in the global monopole and texture models for cosmic
structure formation. We have evolved the six component linear gravitational
field along with the monopole or texture scalar fields numerically in an
expanding universe and performed the Sachs-Wolfe integrals directly on the
calculated gravitational fields. On scales $> 7^\circ$, we find a Gaussian
distribution with an approximately scale invariant fluctuation spectrum. The
$\Delta T/T$ amplitude is a factor of 4-5 larger than the prediction of the
standard CDM model with the same Hubble constant and density fluctuation
normalization. The recently reported COBE-DMR results imply that global
monopole and texture models require high bias factors or a large Hubble
constant in contrast to standard CDM which requires very low $H_0$ and bias
values. For $H_0 = 70 {\rm {km\over sec} Mpc^{-1}}$, we find that normalizing
to the COBE results implies $b_8 \simeq 3.2\pm 1.4$ (95\% c.l.). If we restrict
ourselves to the range of bias factors thought to be reasonable before the
announcement of the COBE results, $1.5 \lsim b_8 \lsim 2.5$, then it is fair to
conclude that global monopoles and textures are consistent with the COBE
results and are a {\it better} fit than Standard CDM.
