Here are just a few screenshots. They were all taken with all the video settings maxed out (as far as I know). There are stunning visual improvements as well as physics improvements in the Source engine. (hm, I even put CS in a higher resolution than CS: S when doing this)

In Counter-Strike (non-Source), you shoot something, it doesn’t even move. In Counter-Strike: Source, you can shoot most everything and break/move it. There are, however, some static objects. (sadly, even some papers are static to the floor)

There’s a good video out there from this year (2004)’s E3. In it, you see the player uses the manipulator to pick up something like a tarp or a rug and push it out into the water. This leads me to draw the conclusion of if you were to put a piece of paper at the ceiling, it would fall accordingly.

For now, I don’t feel like scaling them all and posting links to them, so check them out. Check the old folder for screenshots of Counter-Strike and the parent directory of that one for Counter-Strike: Source.
