There is a simpler way to disable hyphenation:
\hyphenpenalty=10000.
This can be done for only one paragraph: write \hyphenpenalty=10000 at the
before the paragraph, and \hyphenpenalty=50 after it.
It is also possible to disable hyphenation for specific words:
\hyphenation{foo} will disable hyphenation for the word foo.
