You simply insert \penalty -10000 to force a line break at this very place (while still retaining justification). On the other hand, the equivalent to `.br' (and the end of a paragraph) is to insert an infinitely stretchable space (e.g. `\hskip 0pt plus 1fil') before `\penalty -10000' to squeeze everything at the start of the line as much as possible.
