select * from table where column 'CONTAINS' more than one value (how?)

[Tramelw@xxxxxxx]

Hello all,
 
I have no problem creating a table, using a query from my dbase table  "news":
 
SELECT * FROM table where column = VALUE.
 
However, now that most of our articles have more than one column type (i.e.  
instead of just technology, the column can now contain "technology, politics,  
local".
 
My question is now that I have more than one value, what format can I use  
for a "contain" command.
 
EXAMPLE:
 
articles needed "local political" articles:
 
SELECT * FROM table where column contains "politics", "local".
 
Does anyone know how to format the above command into a proper SQL query  
language?
 
 
Thank you in advance.
