  Intersecting D-brane models seem to be one of the most promising avenues to
embed the Standard Model physics within the string context. We review here
different aspects of these models. Topics include the question of SUSY and
quasi-SUSY in intersecting brane models, model-building, the brane
recombination interpretation of the SM Higgs mechanism, Yukawa couplings, the
lowering of the string scale and possible new Z's accessible to accelerators.
