Folk Guitar, hosted by Laura Weber, was a production of the Bay Area's KQED and ran on the N.E.T. feed. I have no fondness for folk music, so I don't have any memories to share myself, but here's a clip from a 1969 episode.

Lawbreaker, as I think I've mentioned before, was hosted by Lee Marvin, and was a sort of docudrama, in which various crimes were re-created, using as many of the original participants as possible, including in some cases the criminals involved. You could tell most of the people involved weren't professional actors (or even amateur ones), but it was still interesting.

James "Scotty" Reston, host of the 8:00 p.m. show, was one of the best-known and most respected Washington correspondents of the time, working for many years for The New York Times. I think we can, therefore, assume that this program was about the political scene, and might have touched on Vietnam.
