Rails - Nov 2005 - Validation helpers and belongs_to/has_many problem

I''m adding comments to my blog, which is running on Rails code 
that I wrote myself. So, I have Story and Comment:

class Story < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :comments
end

class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :story, :counter_cache => true
  validates_length_of :author,
                      :maximum => 25,
                      :message => "Should be shorter"
end

That looks okay to me so far.  Now, here''s the problem I''m
having
and I need some help to solve it.  I''ve added a form to the action that
displays the story plus all comments associated with it.  That form 
posts to an action in the controller:

 def add_comment
    @article = Story.find(@params[:story_id])
    
    begin
      @article.comments.create!(@params[:new_comment])
    rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid
      # We have an invalid record, so let''s make sure the user knows
about
      # not sure what goes here to force the errors to show up in another action
      # so this is where I would put some sort of redirect
    end
    
    # Everything went well, so let''s go back to the article
    redirect_to :action => ''article'', :id =>
@params[:story_id]
    
  end

So basically, I want to trap the exception generated by 
''validates_length_of :author'' and pass that error when I
redirect back
to my ''article'' action.  The idea is to send them back to the
form, with
their posting intact and report the error message.

So, what''s the best way to handle this?  Do I need to create a seperate
RHTML page just for the add_comment action or can I bend Rails to my 
will here?
