The thing is that this particular instance variable is associated with
*ALL* of the actions of the controller. I want to be DRY and only
specify the value of the instance variable once and have that value
available in all of the views associated with each of the actions of
that controller.

I don't think so. Models extend from ActiveRecord::Base. Therefore
in my nieve view of the Rails world, models are only used with
databases. I don't have a database involved. I just want to pass a
common value from the controller to the views and I don't want to have
to redundantly specify that value in each of the actions.
Thanks for the input.
