How can we keep our adult cat from biting during play?

Jaspurr: Red Mackeral Tabby with vivid markingsFrom the FAQ archives. Franny answers this question and offers behavioral modification tips.
    We have adopted a 15 month old Maine Coon Cat who with lots of patience has developed a loving personality. But we still cannot stop her from biting us when we try to play with her. My wife in particular seems to get the brunt of it each time. Is there a way which we can show her that her "staff" do not appreciate this behaviour and we would appreciate it if she stopped this bad habit?
