      this is a fantastic visualization. what do the branching segments represent?

      The branching segments are 'org facets' - organizations which were associated with the stories that were found in the keyword search. This is one of the nicest things about the NYTimes API - you can ask for and process all kinds of interesting information past the standard 'how many articles?' queries.
