One way to do simple adjustments is to use the minlen attribute. If node 
A is 1950 and node B is 1958,
you can use A->B [minlen=8].

A more global approach is to actually use a timeline, which you can 
always make small and invisible.
Then use rank=same for all nodes that should be at the same year. Take a 
look at the sample graph
graphs/directed/shells.gv for a template.
