Set \parindent to 0pt in the preamble:

\setlength\parindent{0pt}

Should it not be \setlength{\parindent}{0pt}? Both seem to be LaTeX notations but I thought the first pair of parentheses is necessary.

@Harrold: you can do both - it's a matter of taste.

@Harrold: I think these braces are comparable to those discussed at tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1914/…

This does not work in the tufte-* classes: do you know a workaround?

Set \parindent to 0pt by typing

\setlength\parindent{0pt}

in the preamble (before \begin{document})
