Oil leak response grows as cap captures less than hoped

A funnel-like cap was placed a mile beneath the sea to divert oil to a surface ship, but vents still release crude. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen cautions against optimism while BP and officials report limited capture and ongoing seepage affecting Pensacola Beach and nearby residents.
