Shan Carter, Aron Pilhofer, Andy Lehren, and Jeff Damens of The New York Times put together an impressive multimedia interactive on fallen US soldiers in Iraq. This is a nice example of combining interactive visualizations and infographics so that a user can "drill down" into data without having to lose a bunch of context.
A key component is the adjustable/slidable window, which is reminiscent of Oliver Steele's expialidocio.us. Wonder where Oliver wandered off too?
