Any articles that demonstrate this? Haven't read the NYT in like 15 years. Only vaguely familiar with the data viz that Mike Bostock created while there, and only because he shared them on a defunct blocks site.
This is a great one, though quite old: 342,000 Swings Later, Derek Jeter Calls It a Career (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/09/14/sports/baseba...)

Another good one from 2025: Who Sits Where In Trump's West Wing (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/04/21/us/politics/w...)

And one more from 2025: ‘He’s a Maximalist’: Inside Trump’s Gilded Oval Office (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/12/23/us/trump-whit...)
