& is bitwiase and which works fine for the booleans you get back from
comparisons like (a>2). So in this case & is ok.
For arrays with non-boolean values (any non-zero is True) use logical_and:
a[ logical_and(c, d) ]
Logical_and works always to give you the boolean result.
'&' gives you the bitwise result, which is sometimes equivalent to the
boolean result.
