Or you could also stub the call to User::find.

Also - you don't *WANT* to set the instance variable - it's an  
encapsulation violation - there is nothing in the public interface  
about it.  Remember, these are not only specs, but *examples*.  Would  
you want someone writing production code modeled off of that spec?
