In articles, avoiding
hyphenation can 
lead to ugliness like this. 

Or           to        ugliness
like  this which    is  equally
bad.

However, there are situations, like slides or printed lists like 
a curriculum vitae or a bibliography where hyphenation is best
avoided.

In "foils"---which a LaTeX style for printing transparencies or creating
presentations---hyphenation is avoided by setting \righthyphenmin and
\lefthyphenmin to 100.

YMMV.
