Not hyphenating  this will result in overfull lines, so you would 
need to set the titles raggedright.   I'm not sure I would actually 
recommend this.

However, it can be done easily with the titlesec package:

\usepackage[raggedright]{titlesec}

For the table of contents, the titletoc package provides the relevant 
functionality, but for this particular task (assuming you don't want 
to redefine everything) the tocloft pacakge provides a simpler 
interface:

\usepackage{tocloft}

\renewcommand{\cftsecfont}{\raggedright}

(and similar commands for subsec, chap etc.)
