 * I would like to make a custom query that checks to see if a post is in two categories.
   Something like: A ‘and’ B…
 * What is the query_posts() syntax for this? You can see my attempt below which
   does not work. I’m using this to separate news articles from different years.
 *     ```
       <?php if (is_page('84')) { ?>
       			<?php query_posts('category_name=inthenews&showposts=10'); ?>
   
       		<?php } elseif (is_page('90')) { ?>
       		<?php query_posts('category_name=inthenews && category_name=2007'); ?>
   
       		<?php } elseif (is_page('91')) { ?>
       		<?php query_posts('category_name=inthenews && category_name=2006'); ?>
   
       		<?php } elseif (is_page('92')) { ?>
       		<?php query_posts('category_name=inthenews && category_name=2005'); ?>
   
       		<?php } ?>
       ```
