I run into problems when I want two or more optional categories but one
compulsory one, say
Product specials and press releases, but only for the category About Us.

This is a common scenario. What I usually recommend is that you set up
a news category Hierarchy that has two branches:
1. topographical, that is a category per site section (eg. About Us,
Products, etc)
2. topical, that is a category per news type (eg. Press Release,
Product special, case study, whatever...)
That way if you wanted to show just "About Us" things in the "About Us"
section you restrict the news rule in your container to only show the
"About Us" category.
Or you can get more cunning. Lets say in the Product Section you have
an area dedicated to press releases about new product announcements...
you could set up a rule in that area to filter by "Products" and "Press
Releases".
The really cool thing about these rules is once you set them up you can
pretty much forget about them -- and just expect them to be updated as
people add newly categorised News content :)
Does that help?
