Whose truths do you want to believe?

A scene from the near future:
Augustus Merryweather IV glanced up at the tapping on his office door. Harvey Carbunkle stood there in bow tie and shirt sleeves, smiling eagerly from behind horn-rimmed glasses.
Augustus sighed. He hated this part of the job. It was never fun to let people go.
He waved the young man to a seat, spoke without preamble. "Harvey, I'm afraid it's not working out."
The eager face fell like a refrigerator from a moving truck. "You're firing me?"
"I have no choice. Your work, well ... it hasn't been up to the standard we expect for an editor at Merryweather Publishing. Frankly, I'm surprised. When I saw that you were a graduate of BU, I couldn't wait to hire you. Boston University turns out some great students."
