Sorry, fixing confusing typo:

Say I have a couple of tables:

 author :has_many   => stories
 story  :belongs_to => author

In a form handler I'd like to do something like:

 a = Author.find(some_id)
 a.middle_name = "Poindexter"

 s = a.find_by_title("The Lake")
 s.title = "The Dry Lake"

I'd like to then transactionally (or even not) do

 a.save!

and have the change to "s" get saved as well.  Is this possible?
It works fine if s is a new record created with build(), or something like
 s = Story.new
 a.stories << s
 a.save!

Is there any magic like "<<" or build() that can be used for existing
objects to attach them to a parent object for purposes of
cascading the save()?

Thanks!
