Page shows all posts – would like it to show just one category

Hello – my theme has a “Latest News” category template that displays the latest posts from every category (see code below.) Is there a way to make it display just ONE particular category? Thanks!

<?php

	/* Template Name: Latest News */

?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="main">

	<div id="post-area">

		<h1>Latest News</h1>

		<ul class="archive">

			<?php

									$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

									$args= array(

										'posts_per_page' => 14,

										'paged' => $paged

									);

									query_posts($args);

			?>

			<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

			<li>

				<?php if (  (function_exists('has_post_thumbnail')) && (has_post_thumbnail())  ) { ?>

				<div class="archive-image">

					<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('small-thumb'); ?></a>

				</div><!--archive-image-->

				<div class="archive-text">

					<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="main-headline"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

					<p><?php echo excerpt(38); ?></p>

					<div class="headlines-info">

						<ul class="headlines-info">

							<li>Posted <?php echo human_time_diff(get_the_time('U'), current_time('timestamp')) . ' ago'; ?></li>

							<li class="comments-icon"><a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>"><?php comments_number( '0', '1', '%' ); ?></a></li>

						</ul>

					</div><!--headlines-info-->

				</div><!--archive-text-->

				<?php } else { ?>

				<div class="archive-text-noimg">

					<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="main-headline"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

					<p><?php echo excerpt(38); ?></p>

					<div class="headlines-info">

						<ul class="headlines-info">

							<li>Posted <?php echo human_time_diff(get_the_time('U'), current_time('timestamp')) . ' ago'; ?></li>

							<li class="comments-icon"><a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>"><?php comments_number( '0', '1', '%' ); ?></a></li>

						</ul>

					</div><!--headlines-info-->

				</div><!--archive-text-noimg-->

				<?php } ?>

			</li>

			<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

		</ul>

		<div class="nav-links">

			<?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&laquo; Previous Page'), __('Next Page &raquo;')); ?>

		</div><!--nav-links-->

	</div><!--post-area-->

</div><!--main -->
