No, we are not referring to another mega international takeover, but a recent fax from Viacom Productions Inc. They sought permission to use Greenhill's The Art of War by Baron Jomini as a featured prop in their TV series Sabrina the Teenage Witch! They advise us that Sabrina the Teenage Witch is a half-hour comedy which stars Melissa Joan Hart as Sabrina, who attempts the challenges of both high school and her newly developed magical powers. In the programme in which they wish to use Jomini's The Art of War, two of the lead characters, Zelda and Hilda, are seen going to Salem's storage trunk. Normally Greenhill receives requests for permission to use quotations from books in another work, or translation rights. Product placement, as we believe it is called, is something of a 'first' for Greenhill.
