You can define the following:

class Article

   def self.articles
     @@articles
   end

end


But in fact, as Brian said, this may not be a good idea to store the 
articles in the Article class. This depends on the fact whether you want 
to be able to store several groups of articles or only one. I hadn't 
think of it because of the way you asked it. I undestood that you were 
only handling one group of articles, but maybe that's not the case. 
However, it's a good situation to learn a little about class variables 
and class methods ;-)
