Declaring "distress and a deep sense of outrage," the Princess of Wales won an injunction tonight against two British newspapers that published photographs secretly taken of her exercising at a London health club. The photographs, taken by a camera hidden in the ceiling, were sold to The Daily Mirror and The Sunday Mirror by the gym's owner for a sum that was reported to be about $150,000.

Sometimes there is a political event so transcendentally weird, so Silly Putty, to use one of tonight's Perot-isms, that it almost defies description. Tonight's big Nafta debate on "Larry King Live" on CNN was not exactly Webster and Clay. More like Punch and Judy -- with charts instead of bats.

Whirring and beeping inside our computer is Ars Magna, a software program that always replies with an anagram of what we ask it. When we say Al Gore, it replies Galore. And if we say H. Ross Perot, it comes back with Sports hero. The program has become skillful in political prognostication. Recently it has been pondering tonight's Gore-Perot debate on the North American Free Trade Agreement. We invited it to share its thinking.

Were it not for the fact that truly serious issues are involved, the caterwauling over the North American Free Trade Agreement would be almost comic. On one side we have a populist President frantically wooing the Republican establishment to round up the 30 or so votes he needs to get Nafta through the House. Standing the usual political coalitions on their heads, Mr. Clinton has courted familiar G.O.P. luminaries like Henry Kissinger, James Baker and even Senator Bob Dole, while accusing his erstwhile allies in the labor movement of using "naked pressure" and "muscle-bound tactics" to defeat the agreement.

Ross Perot? He is a team player and yes, he might be considered for a job in Bill Clinton's cabinet. Who said that? Al Gore, when he was running for Vice President.

As has been the case with much of the fight over the North American Free Trade Agreement, the debate tonight between Vice President Al Gore and Ross Perot included some misleading and exaggerated arguments on both sides. Their disagreements ranged from the sweeping (whether the pact would result in massive layoffs across the United States) to the obscure (the pact's rules on certain labels of Tennessee bourbon). But a review of their statements on CNN's "Larry King Live" indicates that Mr. Perot tended to stray a little further from the facts than did Mr. Gore.

Vice President Al Gore suggested tonight that Ross Perot opposed the North American Free Trade Agreement to win political and financial advantage for himself. In a sour 90-minute televised debate that turned more on personality than substance, the Vice President observed that Mr. Perot had favored the trade agreement until he began running for President, and that the Perot family had obtained special free-trade privileges for its development near a cargo airport in Fort Worth.
