: Sorry, Smokey, the association of the Enfield cartridge with "bite the bullet" is pure urban legend, and it's my impression that it's quite a recent one; it's only in the last half-dozen years that I have heard it proposed in opposition to the obvious battlefield-surgery one.
: However, soldiers really *were* given a bullet to bite during battlefield surgery; a bullet was used because lead is just soft enough that the man wouldn't break his teeth biting it.

The consumption of bullets imposes the negative externality of potential injury and death as well as increased healthcare expenses.
Those who purchase bullets should, therefore, be taxed to help pay for these costs.
But the only consumers whom this tax will really affect economically will be those who are buying bullets in the thousands (and they will only have to pay $50 dollars extra on every 1,000 bullets purchased).

 DVD Savant Review: Bite the Bullet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Lusty, high-spirited and full of the pleasures of the American Western, Bite the Bullet is easily the best of Richard Brooks' later films, and a standout Western of the post- The Wild Bunch era.
This still may not be the 'real' West, but even in its glorification, Bite the Bullet abandons the usual Western movie vendettas and shootouts in favor of details and events that are far more credible than fast guns or moral mythmaking.
It wasn't mentioned by name, but it's easy to see that horsefalls here and there in Bite the Bullet were accomplished with a 'running W' snare, the kind of wire rig that pulls a horse straight down and more often than not causes him to do a murderous-looking flip.

A sweeping western that fills the widescreen with glorious landscapes, big sound and big performances, Bite the Bullet injects more wind in its cross country 2000-mile endurance horse race than the average western conjures up on a dust filled main street showdown.
There were snippets of good work and the cinematography took advantage of the fabulous terrain, but it failed to live up to its scope.
Despite some obvious flaws, Bite the Bullet still manages to entertain over the course of 200 miles and 131 minutes.

We do invest ourselves in our projects--not just David and I either, but everyone in the office and part of our extended team--and care like crazy about having our publications used, and reviewed.
Like any author, though, we bite the bullet when reviews are slow or sloppy, and I always remind myself that when it comes to PR the only thing that matters is that they spell your name right.
Anyway, no complaints from us about this review of the Berkshire Encyclopedia of World History, by John Lawrence, who chaired the ALA's Dartmouth Committee this year: "...a winning combination of distinguished historians and a seasoned editorial staff has proven more than equal to this massive undertaking."
